Caisse d'Epargne team bus robbed

The team bus of Spanish outfit Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears was forced open on Friday in Sanremo, where the team was staying during the Tour Mediterranéen. The burglars stole some helmets, jerseys and earpieces but fortunately couldn't get a hold of any bikes. The team's riders were held up by the incident and arrived late at the start of the fifth stage in La Londe Les Maures on Saturday morning, but were able to depart on time.
