Three of us went for a nice 40 mile ride about 7:30 this morning.Coming back we were inline with a 02 giant in front,then a 02 cervelo prodigy and me.We were doing a nice 22mph pace when the cervelo with his hands on top of his bars,hit a small bumb that caused his hands to lift off the bar.A very quick right into the chain link fence he went and luckly keep him against it as he would have came back in front of me.Well he does'nt have a cervelo frame anymore,or brake levers but the rest looks ok.He only has a small gash on the side of his head and torn shorts and a lot of red marks.Buckled and cracked the head tube. He said cervelo has some kind of frame replacement program. His first crash and i about sh$t my shorts.

Owwwwitch! Hitting a chainlink fence at speed can't feel very pleasant at all. Glad he's okay. Pity about the frame.
