So... time to fire Prudhomme, Pcad?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

More route-related carnage in the Tour than the Giro - Andy Schleck writes on Facebook that Vino's career may be over.

Plus, lack of control when it comes to race support - 2 crashes caused by event vehicles (1 moto, 1 car). Sure, not directly Prudhomme's fault but the buck stops with him, eh?

So after all those pages of theoretical risks caused by more mountain stages, the last 2 editions of the Tour have had more route-related crashes than the Giro.

Hmmmm.

That impact with the vehicle was outrageous.
