I saw a documentary programme today on ITV4 about a bicycle race.
Lots of riders were going jolly fast near the end and there was (quite predictably) a crash.
The camera lingered on an English (I think) racer with a yellow hat and a striped jumper. He looked jolly cross about it all.
Luckily all the riders were wearing hats.
I noticed that the Englishman's yellow hat was broken in several places and asked myself the following:
1. Did it save his life?
2. Who on Earth said that they were should to go so fast, so close together? Madness!
3. I think they raced for 200km. Do they get to have a few days' well-earned rest now?
4. is this something they train for, or do they just do it for fun?
The most important question (for me) is the one about the hat. I hope this isn't one of these topics that people get het up about!
