Clebs like over exaggerating things like bike falls when in reality his wheel probably slipped and he skid a meter or two.

 

Then the media blow it up even bigger to get some cheap engagement. And then. suddenly cycling is dangerous in the media for 2 hours.

 

Simon obviously had a very bad accident but also probably shouldn't have been on that thing.

 

Gordon probably could have rubbed some dirt on it and had a laugh with the group he was riding with.

 

My helmet is due in Oct and this won't change how i go about my safety

Gordon has run quite a few Comrades marathons and done a few Hawaai ironmen so I suspect he is a bit tougher than your average prima donna celebrity

Yeah I was under the impression he was quite a serious cyclist..

Saw this last night. Expecting the usual graze. Then the grimace monster tattoo reveal... This is a tough oomie! Maybe he's on Xarelto or Plavix and it looks worse than it is. I suspect he's just hardcore.

Rumour has it that Gordon Ramsey is more hardcore than the legend of the rent......

[betaboy]

It seems his a danger to himself outside of a kitchen. I bet he told that helmet it’s fortune….😂😂😂

Ja that bruising is HECTIC. And lots of organs in that area to take even more of a hit. 

[Me rida my bicycle]

I'm surprised there's a helmet that fits a head that big..

He has a 3:30 marathon so he is a fairly competent athlete.

I was reading a list of celebrities marathon times a few weeks back and he was fairly high on the list.

What I find a bity strange ion this fall is that he has a massive amount of bruising on his torso as well as helmet damage but no visible signs of any scratches or road rash
