Davis Phinney 1988 L-B-L Photos
Does anybody have pics of that Davis Phinney crash in the 1988 L-B-L (or was
it Roubaix) when he went flying through the rear window of a team car? |

Kurgan, If you've got them please email them to me or post a link so I can get them off the web. Thanks, Philip |

Which race was it then? I am sure it was not Paris Roubaix. If you are
talking about the face plant on to the team support car (not the 7-11 team though) then I want to say Fleche Wallone but I suppose it could have been Liege Bastogne Liege. He had another similar crash in yet another race but I think that was in the US. The scars have healed nicely though it did take a while. The last time I saw him was in the Pope Valley (NorCal) race in the early 90s and even then you could barely notice the scars. |

It was LBL. The race organization was criticized extensively for the
incident, and shortly there after LBL was under the Societe Tour De France (now ASO) umbrella. He struck the (Ironically) ISOGLASS team car, the mechanic got out looked at Phinney, hopped back in and they took off. I've seen some Miror du cyclism pictures of the incident and they are truly horrifying. |

OK, thanks. I meant that he was on 7-11 and that he did not hit the
7-11 support car, which *was* his team. I guess my sentance could have been more clear. |
