Three Aussies out of le Tour. Michael Rogers and Stuart O'Grady crashed out (no spinal injuries for Stu, thank god!), and Robbie McEwan failed to finish in the allocated time and was disqualified. I'm kind of afraid to watch the footage, actually. This is very sad.

Also, my extra icons have expired so no Tour icon. This is also very sad. :(

Oh man, I was wondering about McEwan all day because the live coverage stopped before they revealed his finishing time. I'm so bummed! I love Robbie McEwan and his crazy-ass sprint finishes.

I wonder how many others fell off the back on stage 8. Couldn't have been just Robbie. Poor sprinters. I bet they track down whoever did the course layout tonight and beat the shit out of him. Those three cat ones were vicious.

Didn't help that Robbie crashed in the early stages and has been nursing an injury since. Check outthis site for footage and full results - the good news is Cadel Evans is still in, and was 6th overall yesterday.
