OK, I caught the coverage of the hail on VS. I didn't see any broken
bikes, but the stuff was pretty nasty. One guy lifted his jersey to
show the bruises and it looked like he'd been pelted by golf balls.
Now I'm satisfied.

As an invective, yes. The mundane proper noun, I do not know.

Thanks, Ben. I hope that settles once and for all that helmets are a
necessity in bike racing.
I'm a little disappointed by the size of the hail. It looks pea sized
not golf ball sized.

I watched the race on DSF and I can assure you that the severity of the hail
was not exaggerated. Several riders were shown holding large pieces of
ice against cuts and bruises. I recorded the program to DVD but I can't
think of a way to get pics to you all. Suggestions?

I think I saw a link to a description of the storm on the CN stage report,
but I didn't click on the link.

The hail was so strong all the cameras were broken.
Or the stage was canceled so early all the photographers
hadn't finished their pastis and cigarettes yet to get
on the motos.
Go to http://www.tds.ch/
click on "Bildergalerien" under 2007 on the left
click on 6. Etappe
and it will pop up a window with some small images.
or try http://www.tds.ch/slideshow/radsport/20070621/11078/photo_1.htm

Really! Everyone is making a big deal of the size and ferocity of the
hail and how people were bruised, battered and bleeding, bikes broken
and I haven't seen one nifong photo of it!
