"Big up to the UCI technical rules .... they mean you'll only see this monstrosity at a triathlon, not the Tour de France" - isn't that one of those things out of 'Tron'?
I thought the crash just after this was worse, you know, the one were the rider nearly bounced of the unprotected lamp post...
they must be in a hurry to get home, have their tea and watch the football.
That fork is actually mental, coo cooo, loop de loop.
The second crash could have been nasty - all of a sudden the kerb raises up with no marshals to warn. Good job one of the leaders sees it and points it out- but uts too late for the guys on his wheel.
Tour of Slovenia...not Suisse (it even says it three times in the tweet!)
Aarrrhh! My eyes!
