Tour coverage Sunday night (2004-07-18) (possible minor spoiler)
*spoiler warning* Did anyone catch the live coverage the other night? There was one point during the stage where the road was split with raised islands. For whatever reason the camera-dude was filming the peleton from the side, Robbie McEwen(sp?) in shot, everyone cruising on about 40km/h ++ To escape the bunch (or other reason?) Robbie bunny-hops his bike up onto the island, rides along it, then similiarly - and flawlessly - hops off back onto the road on the other side just before the end and a 'keep right' bollard! It was bloody magical; effortless style and grace. -kt |

newsan.2004.07.21.11.45.59.964032@maddogsbreakfa st.com.au... *spoiler warning* Did anyone catch the live coverage the other night? Yes.

It was bloody magical; effortless style and grace. Yes, Phil and Paul keep commenting on him being the best bike handler in the peloton. He's an ex-bmx'er. Did you see his wheelies across the line on two of the stages? The d'Huez "one-hander, wipe the brow" was funny as! :-) Did you also see the guy crash into the post in one of the centre islands? It looked painful... hippy |

When I was a cycle courier I would consistently be distracted by some of the more attractive pedestrians and ride up the back of buses. Fatigue + rampant early 20s testorerone + women's summer fashions = easily distracted = many stupid accidents. - Mark Munk3y |

om... Did you also see the guy crash into the post in one of the centre islands? It looked painful... I've never crashed head first into anything before. Has any one here ? Any one Hip ? Any one ? Yeah.. ran into the back of a car whilst riding my bmx once. I was looking for the source of some strange noise beside the road and managed to fit the front tyre nicely under the car's rear bumper. I had braked at the last second and managed not to break anything on car or bike. Unstuck wheel, snuck away embarassed... Then there was that time I didn't make the corner coming down the mountain.. 50kph + sudden stop = 40min blank memory of my first road race.. hippy |
