Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It's one thing to crash, but to crash in a race you were about to win and then get penalized must truly suck.

well he did ride into Haussler and cause the crash. Three riders had to abandon due to injuries sustained in the crash. Cav deserved what he got.

Too bad none of those riders got what they deserved according to the news report: a simple apology!!
