what was the story there ? something like he'd dislocated a shoulder and couldn't grip the handlebars so used the tape to help ?
That's right, he had fell earlier and broken his left collar bone, so used the elastic to help pull on the bars. Unable to brake properly though, he fell again and landed on the same shoulder, concussed, he came to in an ambulance and insisted on getting out and finishing the stage. Proper Rule #5 in them days.
