haven't posted here before, but saw this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/gallery/2010/jul/07/tour-de-france-crashes#/?picture=364660420&index=0 and thought I was worth sharing. Some good pic's of the injuries and road rash from this years TdF... Made me wonder how many riders drop out every year due to injuries?

It does seem a particularly crashy tour all right.

You can get the withdrawal list for 2009 here.

For 2008 it just says "NO LONGER RIDING... All the riders in the race." Which technically I guess is correct.

cool thanks for the links...

looks like about 21 or so in 2009 out of what appeared to be 200 rides starting.

So far out this year: 17 http://www.letour.fr/2010/TDF/LIVE/us/abandons.html

and thats out of 219 starters...I assume there'll be a few more out before the end...
