Anybody catch the guy in the orange jersey (sorry I can't identify it yet) that rode over *two*
downed cyclists and stayed up? Pretty amazing to watch him in the replays. You see him going up
well above the rest of the cyclists (twice) and neither one was a result of jumping over
people... you could tell from the movement that he was literally *riding* over them, at least
with his rear wheel.

yeah -- I thought it was and Euskatel rider. For a moment it looked to me like he was going over the
handlebars, but I guess it was because he got the front wheel on the ground while the back wheel was
on the downed bikes.

Hi Mike,

Yeah, I did see that.....and I "felt" every tooth in that big ring as he did it! Nasty, nasty crash.

Yeah, I think he jumped over, reminds me of the women"s world road race last year, I think a
girl did that in the race and another girl did a complete loop ta loop over Melchers landing on
her [censored].

That was Zenaida Stahurskaya.

yeah awesome, at least he was probably in the big ring so some of the outer ring wouldn've been less
exposed.... horrible crash. ed "WBtobal" <[email hidden]> wrote in message

I call em road skills. I think people have been riding over victims and bunnyhopping crashes and
riding into and out of ditches and such for, uh, about 100 years of road racing. Cross skills
more like!
