He had a whole road to ride in and he took a chance and lost. Cycling fans have been causing wrecks for decades and he is well aware of it, I'm sure.
That was tongue in cheek. There was a discussion, possibly in another thread. I'm also a big fan, and have no doubt Gilbert would have been caught. But destiny thought otherwise.
