How did that happen?  I take it there is no road closure for the TT then.

 

According to my whattsap group truck was on wrong side of the road on a blind rise...

 

Paul hospitalised with lots of broken bones..

 

Very angry when I hear stuff like this!

I reported it to the commissaire at the finish, myself and one another saw it and there was a road marshall that was driving right behind, so lets see what comes of it.

Update on Paul - his injuries are quite serious and it is not yet known if he will make a full recovery.

 

A bit sad to me that bikehubs press office didnt even find this incident worth mentioning in either of their race reports.

Its VETs, not Elites, or the TdF... ITS VETS!!!

 

If you are taking your VETs race SO seriously that you CHEAT, you should go race elites.

 

People that cheat in age categories, are a special kind of moron.
