Contador had a nasty mishap. Something blocked while shifting, foot out
of the clips and barely stayed on the bike. Check it out (WMV9 320x240,

It almost looks like he banged the bars with his right knee, causing
the rear end to pitch up, and the subsequent unclipping. Scary to
watch.

This is a good video to send to the hacks that claim that racers aren't
atheletic.

Straight up! And to those who say it doesn't take any guts to race. Man
he doesn't even flinch after coming within inches of spankinging into
the curb at maybe 25mph he clips in as if nothing happened and jumps
out of the saddle again. Balls!!

This is a terrible video to show to hacks. 99.9% of people that are
not familiar with the sport are going to look at that and wonder why
this idiot can't ride a straight line on a smooth road.
