Ouchy! Looked like he'd got away with crashing in the final 3km of Stage 12, but turns out he's crocked.
Reckon it'll make any odds to Lancestana?

That's a bit strong! Think about Gesink who rode 50km with a broken wrist, or Arvesen who fractured his collarbone and rode 105km to finish the stage.Bigtwin said:Over paid prissy delicate "ooh mummy my wrist hurts" so-called "professionals". Too much money for too little effort if you ask me.

Then there was Franck Schleck who went over the edge at the Tour de Suisse yet got back on his bike to finish....you wouldn't see footballers continuing like that.
Bigtwin said:Yeah, but that was the older generation, not the soft nancy-boys you have now. Pierre Jean Beauvoir was killed on stage 3 in 1936 and still finished the tour - sheer guts and determination and he was foreign!
Jackie Milburn broke both legs and an arm, and split his scull on the stitching on the ball in the cup final headding the winning goal from the 1/2 way line, and still scored 659 not our for Lankashire whilst taking 7/26 at the same time in a different match for Yorkshire, before mining 7 tons of nutty slack on an evening shift with his bare hands.
Modern sportsmen don't know their born.
