just wondering it anyone else caught that.  While riding around Niece/Alps, Lance got stung in the eye by a bee at the beginning of a training ride.  They stopped, pulled the stinger out, then kept going.  After a bit he lost his concentration and hit a bad spot on the road causing his front tire to lock up.  He then went over the handlebars breaking his helmet in half giving him a black eye in the opposite one from the bee sting and plus the usual road rash.  So to sum it up, our boy is going to look like a mess when he rolls up to the Prologue stage of the tour, but at least it should have no effect on his performance. Oh ya, one more thing, the Madone he was riding on made it threw the crash without a scratch.
  Peace,
