Consider this an open thread for hearing or passing on the latest word about the first Yellow Jersey contender to possibly see his hopes go up in smoke.
Update [2007-7-12 15:31:59 by chris]: Thanks to the bad German translations in the comments, it appears Klöden will continue!! I'm assuming this means no fracture was detected. But Vino hadn't emerged from the hospital yet, so his condition is unknown still. And Klödi will be sore either way.
Update [2007-7-12 15:43:52 by chris]: Klödi does indeed have a hairline fracture of his steissbein, so while they've cleared him to continue, it's not apparent what shape he'll be in. More concerned about Vino tho'.
More Update [2007-7-12 18:9:32 by chris]:: "We are afraid that it is the same problem (from four years ago)", Biver said. As mentioned in the comments, that problem robbed him of his climbing power. They're letting him continue as long as he can stand the pain, not because he's all fine and dandy. And as for Vino, it may be worse. From Radsport, via Google "Translations":
One last Update [2007-7-12 18:31:57 by chris]: I know I said I hate the Guardian, but they have an English update. Thanks to TdFBlog, once again, for the tip.
