If a crash was "mandatory"!

That¹s the one I want to have....... His whole team should wear muddy kits tomorrow to honor his
acrobatics!

 

imagine: the only pictures your relatives see of you during the giro is you digging in the
dirt...;-) "J999w" <[email protected]> schrieb im Newsbeitrag

What you missed is the fact that this guy really has outstanding technical skills, managing to stay
upright after catching somebody's rear wheel. If only he had a bit wider road, he'd never fall. And
it is not funny. I generally like Mr. Duffield's commentary, but his "..Oooops!....fishing!..." was
a little bit too much.

His teammates cracked up though when they watched it afterwards! He basically wasn't looking and ran
into Jorgen Bo Petersen's back wheel - ended up in a rice paddock. After the team mechanics/director
gave him a spare bike, they all burst out laughing. He did look a sight...

Fortunately he wasn't hurt, unlike Piccoli who did the same thing earlier and broke a few ribs(?).
