I don't suppose there's a video, or longer sequence of pics of this, is there? No, I'm not gawking (I've seen enough), but I'm curious to see the full sequence of events.

Looks like Brownie is getting the reception he so richly deserves.
The finish of stage 2 of the Tour of Qatar was a horrifying picture; Graeme Brown swerved in the sprint finish, taking out Predictor-Lotto's Tom Steels who sprawled full-length on the Doha street in the middle of the whole onrushing peloton. Miraculously all riders were all able to avoid him, but the damage was already done. He was able to get back on his bike and ride to the team bus, with unbelievable quantities of blood streaming down his face.
The Belgian emerged later from the Doha hospital to report a broken collarbone, six stitches in his head and any amount of skin scraped off. At that time, he didn't blame Brown for what happened. "That's the way it is in the sprint, these things happen," he was quoted as saying.
But by the time he got back to the team hotel, things had changed. All of the teams are staying at the same hotel and eating together in the same restaurant. According to Robert Förster of Gerolsteiner, Steels went up to Brown, showed him his broken collarbone and spoke his mind, calling the Australian, among other things "a Kamikaze." According to Sportwereld.be, Steels yelled at him, "You f**king idiot! It's always the same with you!"
"Brown didn't react," Förster wrote on his website, robert-foerster.de. "Steels was shouting as loud as he could, 'Go home!' At the same time another rider stood up, clapped and yelled, too, 'Go home!' Then the room went crazy, everybody stood up and yelled 'Go home!'"
Steels, at least, will be heading home early, to have the broken collarbone operated on. His mechanic reported that the head wound had been caused by the helmet, which broke into eight pieces.
"This is enormously frustrating," Steels summarized. He hopes to be back in the saddle training in five days.

^^ Juicey stuff 
i imagine Browne is pretty desperate to do something this year as it may well be his last chance. Apparently he was all but scrapped by Rabobank toward the end of '06, but those couple of late season wins got him another year.

I wish I had the SBS footage from Sorrento when he was trailing Clarke about 300 out from the finish which had a perpindicular hotdog corner about 200 metres from the finish. He jumped at about 50 coming into the corner, got about 7 bike lengths on Clarke into the corner, lent it on one side, like Rossi 500cc, and took it at about kmph, then straightened it up quicker that Clarke also, won by about 20 lengths. And Hilton Clarke is the best crit racer in the US domestic pro scene, and can get top 10's in sprints in Belgium with ease.
Amazing.

I wanna know where Browney got his tan from? 
Didn't he spend the last month in Euroland?

Yeah and from the looks of the video he didn't hit Steels on the initial move across the lanes, but seemed to drag him down when swerving back the other direction. It's a really weird sequence of events.

Good call. Was a great throw at 65kmh, though. Tommy could be a stand-out fielding at deep extra cover for England.

He said he was sorting through his grandfather's war memorabilia and could offer Tom some help that he could put in his bidon for the next time Lotto ride against Rabobank
