Tour de France Sabotaged by Tacks: Around 30 competitors in the main pack of the Tour de France got flat tires and one rider crashed Sunday after someone spread tacks on the road. Astana rider Robert Kiserlovski broke his collarbone and has dropped out of the race. "There's nothing stopping more of that sort of stuff happening," said leader Bradley Wiggins. "It's sad."

Quote of the day came from Wiggins: "There's enough police on this road to hopefully find them people and... send them to a football match or something."

I also liked James Richardson's "Stage 14 Tdf. We expected attacks, we got tacks. We expected punchoers. We got punctures. Turned out to a be a flat stage in the mountains."
