The guy I ride with the most, who also happens to be my business partner, went down yesterday at the Sonic Boom crit. He registered, although he had a bad feeling about it. I suggested on Friday that maybe he not race.

In 2nd position going into the final lap, he crashed and broke his collarbone and hip. His new Prevail probably saved a brain injury. He can't do crutches, so he's likely wheelchair bound. He has an infant and a three year old, a wife that works, and court every day. He has stairs all over his house, including the front door. The list goes on.

I rode up there and spoke to the race director, and found his bike and car. Wilier is fine, miraculously. There's the upside.
