The crash was horrible, he had his head down and was starting to crank it up when the lead out man two ahead of Boonen pulled away right into his path, he didn't see it coming at all.
Not really the Quick-Step rider's fault though, the guy should have been looking where he was going!
oh well, we'll have to wait until next year I guess, if they can build all these amazing sporting facilities, hotels etc out of nothing out in the gulf, surely they could build a mountain?
