    The aftermath...



    Hope Norsgaard's okay

    Edit - abandoned, off in ambulance and neck brace (though walked to it at least)

    LITERALLY HALF OF EVERYONE CRASHED

    Is that the right half, left half, top half, bottom half, front half, back half or another half of each rider? B)

    Top half, or bottom half?

    Barbara Malcotti, for "irregular repairs". Not sure how irregular they were, but it certainly sounds like a mechanic after my own heart.

    (actually it appears to have been the team car dropping back from the lead group and stopping somewhere stupid to swap bikes without permission, or something?)

    Yeah, sad for the rider, but you can see why the punishment is so harsh.
