    He went over the barrier above and fell onto the road below. The other riders were shocked. His team stopped immediately and the peloton stalled until they heard that he was going to be alright (kind of). Broken shoulder & femur. But at the time, it looked life-threatening.

    The badger was luckier and a double hard ba*tard, can see how easily it can happen.

    harmon was saying that pereiro collided with robbie hunter (i think it was him) before going over the barrier. i wonder who fúcked up.

    could have been a lot worse though.

    Hinault has lost none of his fire in recent years: upon seeing a protester jump onto the podium at the end of stage 3 of 2008's Tour de France, in front of the winner, Hinault leapt forward without hesitation and shoved the protester off.
