Samu not happy with Tour pavés

Samu yesterday spoke of his dislike of stage three of this year's Tour, a stage that features the several stretches of cobbles. Not surprisingly, Euskaltel are tipped to struggle as they've done in years past and, judging by his obvious discomfort over its inclusion, I wouldn't rule out another cobbled fiasco in the Tour. "I don't like the fact that you can easily lose your chance of overall success on one stage alone, like the stage with the cobbles", he said. "One stage can decide the GC. You can crash, injur an arm, a leg, you could suffer serious injury. On a stage like that it's better to lose a minute than risk your whole race". Well, all I'll say is that with an attitude like that you're very likely to lose that one minute. Or the whole race if you like.
