Pictures on web of tour barrier crash?

[Bestest Handsan]

Does anyone know if there are pics on the web of Abdojaporph
(sp?) crashing into the barriers during the Tour sprint
about 10 years or so back?

I've searched for it, but I don't have a clue as to how you
spell his name.

Thanks

Thanks. I was able to find plenty of stories about it,
but no pics.

You may get lucky and find that picture, or someone may have
one tucked away on an old hard drive somewhere.

But the fact is that it was one of the luckiest shots
ever and most probably the most dramatic shot ever taken
on the Tour.

It was lucky because only one photographer got the shot back
in 1993 I seem to remember. And he only got it because he'd
been shoo'd out of the finish line spots (Djamoldine
Abdujaparov crashed 100 meters out) and had to be satisfied
with whatever he could get from what was otherwise a pretty
unenviable spot.

But Abdu's misfortune was the photog's meal ticket. The shot
is copyrighted and tightly controlled.

Good Luck. Maybe check e-bay!!

This is as good as it gets for Abd(o)ujaparov, but
unfortunately not the piccy you want.

It used to be here but I guess they took it down

There's also a Crash video out, hosted by Bob Roll, with
some spectacular wrecks. Rather uncomfortable viewing.

Thanks for the help everyone. My eight year old daughter
decided to do her "Great Brain" report at school on the Tour
(sniff... I'm so proud! She doesn't know if yet, but that
will get her the bike she wants for her birthday next
month!). Remembering what I was like as a kid, I knew the
crashes would be a big hit. I found some good pics of bloody
riders on the ground, and she played some video tape of
Beloki and Armstrong going down last year. She said the kids
wanted to see that over and over again. I should have bought
"Cycling's Greatest Crashes" or what ever it's called. I
think Adjou is in that! Kids would have loved it!
