Johann said in the interview post-race that he did get back on but after 10km and him not knowing where he was, or indeed, that he had even fallen, the race doctor pulled him. jj |

No, if he hadn't been wearing a helmet, he would've been more careful and wouldn't have crashed. Crashes were almost unheard of in professional cycling before rules were introduced requiring the use of helmets. Boy, talk about pulling something out of one's ass! Like, does the name Casartelli ring a bell? On the flip side, the recent death of a helmeted racer here in Portland, Or. shows that a helmet is not a free pass to immortality. http://tinyurl.com/7pefv I raced that course for years without so much as a close call. The finish is so wide and the set-up is so long that there is rarely a mishap. This poor guy just got in the wrong place and bit it going full blast with a helmet on. -- Jay Beattie. |

Good thing he was wearing a helmet. I don't know why he pulled out, I've landed on my head more times than I can remember, and it's never kept me from climbing back on the bike. I've gotten my bell rung more than a boxer, and it ain't fun. But one time I did get back on the bike and rode to the hospital so they could take care of a broken bone. The ride wasn't bad, but the service at the hospital stunk. They wheeled me into flu ward, and I had to endure listening to all of these slugs coughing and wheezing. What a bunch of babies. They all thought they were gonna die. It was during a flu epidemic 5 years ago. I can still hear them, " oh Doctor........please help ......me.....I ......can't ....cough breathe. I felt like slapping a couple of them, so they could regain some dignity. If any place needed a suitcase of courage it was that place. |
