It appears you are new here, so we will forgive your truthfulness this time, but from now on, please be aware that most BF members do not accept responsibility for their own poor choices, and any future stories should place blame on some type of animal or elderly person.
Here goes..............As I was descending down the mountain I noticed a rider trying to keep me from sucking up to his wheel and eventually passing. I did indeed pass him and as I looked over it was Marcel Kittel and he then came up to my left and threw a shoulder into me forcing me off the road. I was able to brush off the flapping skin and repair my bike and catch up to him before the flats!
How is that!
