Team Fatka car gets nailed by a boulder in the Giro (somewhat off topic)

[Nick Burns]

Did anyone hear about this incident? I had not heard until I saw a photo today. Apparently a 15 kilo
(33 pounds) boulder hit the windshield dead center while driving in stage 18 in the Giro. Former
yellow jersey (1984?) Kim Andersen was driving and said he feels lucky to have survived. Looking at
the picture, I can understand.

No, but maybe I can scan it later this week.
