T-Mobile troubles continue: Sinkewitz hits fan after stage
After losing the yellow jersey and two riders Sunday, T-Mobile might have felt things could only get better. While riding to the overnight hotel, however, rider Patrik Sinkewitz ran into a 78-year-old man. The man was helicoptered to a hospital, where he was in very serious condition.
Update: News.com.au reports the fan is in a coma.
Sinkewitz had facial injuries and also visited the hospital. His Tour status is uncertain.

And, on French TV, the Tour doctor was concerned about Sikewitz' condition, but didn't say squat about the fan. Then Moreau "expressed his anger" about not having a clear, open road to go down. He didn't say anything about the fan either. These guys can be schmucks sometimes.
