Raw video shows another side of Lance Armstrong

Riveting viewing of the aftermath of Lance Armstrong's crash today in the Amgen Tour of California.

Some interesting discussions between a clearly shaken Armstrong, team staff and a doctor.

I'm a cycling novice but was struck by a key staffer's Team Manager Johan Bruyneel's question whether other team riders could slow the race down so Armstrong could get back into the thick of the action.

In Bakersfield, we were bummed he fell out of the race but there was more than enough buzz for the event to be a success.

Not sure what's up but the video has been taken offline overnight (the page now reads "This item is currently unavailable"). Maybe at the request of Armstrong or his team? Don't know yet. Lemme know if you uncover reasons why.

But here's an interesting stream of Tweets from people who did see the video before it was removed.

OK, thankfully the video appears to be back online again.
