September  22, 2003 – Joe Giuliano (Midweek) was in the top three going into the final, decisive climb. Before the 10k beats of a hill began, there was a very steep and treacherous descent. Joe crashed at the bottom, and slid  off the road, hitting a low, stone wall. His first response was to get on his bike and continue his plan of attacking the leader, since overall victory was still quite possible. His bike, however, was unrideable, and unfixable. He  sustained some abrasions that were worthy of a trip to the hospital. He is doing  fine, just wishing he could have shown his stuff on what was a great opportunity  for him. The Midweek team's results: Peter Morse finished the Tour 11th  overall, Bruce Krip 14th, Dave Fry 34th, and Chris Atkins 40th.
