Current AffairsFor Kreuziger, no Top 10 repeat in Tour de France
In the last two years Czech road bike racer Roman Kreuziger, who rides for
Team Astana, finished in the top 10 in the world’s most prestigious
cycling ‘ordeal’, the Tour de France. 2011, though, won’t see a
three-peat. After a tough first week in which he suffered several crashes,
and a second in which he languished, Kreuziger is currently in just 112th
spot. Now his only real option remaining is to make a mark in Stage 17 on
Wednesday, before the race moves to steeper heights in the Italian Alps. More
