Well, Tyler Hamilton crashed again, but at least he hasn't broken any bones yet. He landed on his back and got "significant bruising", as a Phonak team spokesman put it. Lance Armstrong did crash in an earlier pile up (just 14 km from the start), but is fine except for a few burns from a tire.

Tom Boonen won the stage in a crash-marred uphill finish.
