Puts the antics of footballers into perspective, today there was a crash at 70kmh, rudest went off the edge of the road into a ravine, their fall stopped only by hitting a tree. They just hit back on their bikes and carried on,no fuss. A few years ago Geraint Thomas hit a telegraph pole at speed and fractured his pelvis, 3 weeks later he was riding into Paris having competed the tour. These guys are phenomenal beings.
