Today I found out that all cyclists have a crash face. Here is Bradley Wiggins…
It’s quite surreal having a cyclist crash right in front of you, never mind a Tour de France winner, National Road Race Champion, multiple Olympic gold medalist and mod legend! I didn’t know weather to keep shooting or try and help the old boy up. The large metal barriers in my way and the fact he was inside the final 3km (and so would get the same time as the finishers) and thankfully the lack of any injury meant I could keep shooting as he soon clambered back on his bike.
Having over cooked the penultimate bend leading out his team mates on the first stage of the 2012 Tour of Britain and taking a bit of a tumble, he was soon back on his feet. Luckily there didn’t appear to be too much damage and Brad was soon off on his way again to ride another day. Just goes to show he’s not afraid to take some risks and make sacrifices for his team mates….nice to see in a champion.
Safe journey and good luck to you and the rest of your team Mr Wiggins!
