Vaughters – Christian needs to look at what he wants to do with his career? Geez – He has been great when racing against non dopers. You were one of the most fragile riders that ever rode the tour. A wasp nearly made your head blow up. I was pro Vaughters then and still am. I am pro Christian and still am. I like Garmin because I think it is the only real team out there. Flashes of brilliance – flashes of disaster are real. Loyalty to good people is endearing to me. Don't start looking like the other teams now – “we must win and cut off people who don't cut it”. Garmin goes out there and races – and I believe the success or failure is all real! I don't believe that about the other teams….

Christian, unbelievable luck over the past 2 years. My whole family just hit floor when we saw the crash. While in Spain last summer with my family, I had the great pleasure of riding with you outside of Girona as you were recovering from last year's Giro crash. You could not have been a better host to fellow American in Girona and its something I'll always remember and be thankful for. Thanks for being such a class act. When your luck turns next year, I can't wait to see you put together a beat down on the field! We are all pulling for you here in Blacksburg, Virginia!

Ryder, fantastic day! You have done the Maple Leaf proud. Looking forward to see what the rest of the race holds for you and the Team.

My husband and I saw your interview and wanted to wish you a speedy recovery. The tour won't be the same for us without you.

I yelled some very bad words when I heard about Christian. It's just heartbreaking. I know he'll be back as strong as ever. Julian has proven that he's (nearly) indestructible, and Tyler may yet get another shot at a sprint finish after miraculously finishing today. And hey–chapeau to Ryder for a great breakaway.
