Whoops!
Yesterday John-Lee Augustyn lost an extra 5 minutes waiting for a new bike since the one he'd been riding fell to the bottom of the mountain. (Sound good but not necessary.)
A few other good images here to give you a sense of the scenery and scale as they topped the highest pass in the high Alps.

Team CSC's Bobby Julich on crashes: "To normal people, road rash would mean a trip to the hospital, but in the world of cycling, if nothing is broken (and even sometimes when it is..) Riders just jump back on their bikes and ride on down the road. Every crash is uncomfortable, but we are used to suffering and not to mention pretty tough! Not like those Soccer players that get tapped and then flail on the ground for a few minutes!"

(An example for his sometimes continuing when something's broken comment: Tyler Hamilton cracked his collarbone on the first stage of the 2003 Tour but rode the whole race, winning Stage 16 and finishing fourth overall.)
