Nicki Sorensen is still aching from his nasty, high-speed crash in stage 3. He enjoyed a relatively easy day in Tuesday’s time trial and suffered through Wednesday’s longest stage of the Tour. The tough Dane was able to finish, but admitted he’s been better. “Fortunately, it was a calm day. I still have some pain in my knee and wrist. My hand felt better today, but the knee had it very bad,” he said. “Tomorrow will be a very tough stage, so I’m a little afraid of how it will go.”
