Lance crashed during training . . .
|
Glad it's a minor.
|
he did however... crack his helmet
good thing for new UCI standards demanding functional protective TT helmets |
crashed at low speed during the start of a training ride last week |
is this just PR spin???
|
he probably fell while practicing the triumphant finish line arm raising, or maybe the no hands victory champagne sip.
|
Boo-hoo!
|
Def dodgy. How do you get a black eye from a bike crash? ive never had one or anyone i know.
one only has so many fingers on which to count ones lawsuits. |
From the Boston Globe...
Days before he will start his bid for a seventh consecutive Tour de France victory, Armstrong, distracted by a bee sting on his face, took a low-speed tumble off his bike last week. The fall left him with road rash and a black eye. It could have been worse. His helmet was split by the impact. |

He said "Competent cyclists don't need helmets, because if you know how to ride a bike, you won't crash". So, now we know: Lance's helmet caused him to crash. And, Lance does NOT know how to ride a bike. |

I felt I must respond to this tread because I have had a black eye or eyes in my case caused by a bicycle crash. In my case I went head on with the hood of an SUV went over the top of said hood superman style and landed on the fron lobe of the helmet. The impact ended up being heavily focused, becaue the helmet slid down on my forehead, on the low spot where the eyes/nose/forhead meet. This caused what I belive was a broken nose, and led to black eyes, I never visited the Dr. for confirmation as there were no other significant injuries, dizyness or other symptoms. So, in short black eyes can happen.

Yeah, he looks pretty beat up here.
All is well. The butt kicking begins tomorrow. BTW...Vino wants that big new contract. Think he's going to work for Ullrich? And what about Kloden? |

That looks good compared to the interview he did on 60 minutes earlier this week. Anyone else catch it?
