I remember that incident, myself and my boet did the Vets and Ladies tour in 2006. Fortunately as usual we were not at the 'sharp end of the field' :blush:

 

If memory serves me right the rider got up and finished the race .....

The biggest antelope of all - Eland. I saw this on Super Cycling at the time. Pity it wasn't a GoPro close up.

I was in the bunch. The guy tossed by the Eland was Flip (really!) Krugel from Mr Price. He got up and continued. Not so lucky was Bryan Samson in the breakaway bunch up ahead who also got nailed by another Eland and broke his pelvis. Owww...

 

If you look at the end of the video, Bryan is the guy in the old orange Cycle Lab Vets 40+ kit to whom they are applying the most relevant first aid for a fractured pelvis; a cool (?) water bottle!
