Poor Tom Boonen. He wore the maillot jaune (the yellow jersey worn by the over-all Tour de France leader) for four days in this tour and was second in the points competition (green jersey). But now he's out with some kind of unknown ailment. Reuters is reporting that he had trouble breathing on the descent from the Col de l'Izoard. The QuickStep team spokesman says that "He lowered his pace and when he was trying to step up a gear, it was worse. He was powerless, he could not go on." And so goes Belgium's hopes for a top Tour finish.
