Twitter de France

A sampling of messages sent via twitter from Tour de France riders following Thursday's sixth stage:

@lancearmstrong St6 done. Crazy!! Started to rain and it was like ice! Finished in Barcelona which is one stunning city. Managed not 2 crash. Whew.

@cadelofficial Another nervous day; happy just to stay upright, being at the front was a bonus. Saw a few TOO many spills today.

@levileipheimer Another stressful day. We were very fortunate to arrive unscathed. The roads in Spain are like ice when it rains — lots of dirt and oil.

@ghincapie Flated with 25k to go, came back to group moved to front then crashed with 20k to go. Never been so scared on the bike as I was today.
