3. DANGER AT EVERY TURN: As riders zoom along the roads of France, it is difficult enough controlling the bikes without thinking about the thousands of fans lining the route every day. "The dangerous thing about it is people not understanding how fast we're actually going," said American rider Christian Vande Velde. "There should be like a public announcement on TV, like, `This could happen to you."' For Vande Velde, those scary days in the saddle are now a thing of the past. This was the 37-year-old's last Tour and it ended badly for him when he crashed Friday and had to pull out.
