Tour de France 2007 Stage 2 Highlights

Mon, 09 Jul 2007 17:10:40 -0700

Highlight reel of stage 2 in Belgium. Nasty crash 2km from the end on the wet slick road

Gert Steegmans takes stage
Fabian Cancellara retains overall lead

Seemed like Fabian Cancellara injured his left shoulder and George Hincapie hurt his right knee in the crash. Maybe they both ok, but time will tell the truth.
