Bike, Opportunity Lost
By Paul Sherwen

What a great day, the Tour went over the highest road in the Europe. There were two races to follow, the race for the stage and the race for the overall.

That wasn’t to be, though, as he exited the road in a dramatic fashion on the lunar landscape descent. He lost his bike and any chance of winning the stage. His problem was that it wasn’t possible to get his bike and he had to wait for a long time before he got a spare bike to finish the race.
