Tour de Suisse Stage 4 Finish today… skip to 6:00 to see the carnage that’s the talk on the proteam twitter’s.

Clearly Cav’s fault, but these things happen. Sprint finishes are always scary and intense. It’s shocking there aren’t more. A painful night’s rest ahead of them. Nothing serious was reported injury-wise though.

Follow up on crash…

My mate was going north on High Street, he was crossing Woodruff when a car came out of no where (he said he didnt see it) and turned left (across him). As I said before his bike was smashed up a bit, but he was ok save some scratches and a huge knee bruise. Copper made him goto the ER. Oh he also went through the windshield and smashed that up. Anyways, he got cited by the cop too (for not having a front light), so he not only is on his own for the bike, the trip to the ER but also the damage to the car.

Moral of the story, if you’re in Columbus, you better rock some front/back lights or you are on your own.
