Media Car Tour Disaster
Is it enough simply to tgrow the car out of the tour???
That was a seriously stupid and dangerous piece of driving...It destroyed the 5 man break...nearly killed Flecha and Hoogerland.Even if they continue with stitches and doctors care I doubt they will be up to their best form. Their crash was all the more shocking compared to the earlier two, because it was so avoidable. They were in a relatively small group, well clear of the main pack with some 30km to go, so both were robbed of a great opportunity to win a stage.
I noted that Dave Brailsford was keeping closed mouth about the crash. I doubt he will leave it at that. I would hope charges brought against them for wreckless endangerment...they could have simply braked and passed when clear of trees etc.

If anyone has seen the incident yet, it's on-line and so are pictures of Hoogerland's horrific lacerations (Warning not for the faint-hearted!), how he managed to keep going to the end of the stage is beyond me
