I think it was Gadeo from Jazztel.

OUCH! OUCH! OUCH! No wonder Michael barry had to bail out. He'll be a human scab for a while.

I actually felt like a real wuss this week. I crashed on railroad tracks and got up and went on. However, I'd landed on the palm of my left hand- the heel where it joins the wrist, and it hurt so much I couldn't grip the bars or squeeze the brakes. I actually have a very high threshold of pain but this was really really painful. So I had to bail feeling like a sap.

Maybe if I were being paid, maybe I'd have continued, but truly, it was hard to navigate with one hand. However, it could always be worse- all we need to remind us is a photo like this!

I remember seeing a similar photo of some guy from AXA in the Ronde Van Nederland last year- he'd also crashed and his shorts had basically been torn from his butt. YOWCH! On those cobblestones!
