Dumbass -

After ten days of service to leaders Michael Rasmussen and Denis Menchov,
domestique Bram De Groot was in a bad mood at the start of Thursday's stage,
and expressed that he hoped to leave France as soon as possible. The morning
after the departure of Rasmussen, Menchov started the stage, but then he too
packed and went home... His team-mate Boogerd was clearly annoyed with the
way Rasmussen left the Tour after all the work the team had done for him.
"We didn't talk with each other. He didn't dare to come, I guess he proved
to be a chicken," Boogerd said sarcastically just before the peloton rolled
away from Pau.

I am not a Boogerd fan but that is a great line from him.

It seems to be inconsistent with other statements from Boogerd about
Rasmussens exit.
