Oh, and after the ditch he went over the handlebars into a barbed wire fence. While traveling at 20+ mph. Wearing typical football gear. OK, no he wasn't, he was wearing nothing but a thin layer of spandex. The guy got up, got on a new bike (original bike was wrapped around a fence pole) and finished the race. At the finish line he received a couple of big awards that he had earned earlier in the race before going to the hospital and receiving 30 stitches. And he woke up today, got on his bike and raced again.
When is the last time that you saw a professional athlete go through an injury like this and continue? Real men wear spandex... and shave their legs.
(I'm posting a couple of graphic photos below from velogogo, continue at your own risk, but they're really not that bad.)

I like the picture of the butt, and the cuts, and its not the lack of hair that bothers me, its the fake tan. :P
Fake tan? that's the tan of thousands of miles of training for this event. He wears the same length shorts for each ride and I bet that tan line remains visible through the winter too. I think it's a beautiful tan.
What ever this may be but we must take care when trying to learn new tricks in sport.
Nice review, thanks for dropping by!
