Le Tour - Update

Stage 5 today > the first of the mountains > which'll cause a shake up to the General Classifications. So far we've had Mark Cavendish in yellow and winning another stage to equal Bernard Hinault's 2nd place of all-time stage wins. A good excuse to post the picture I luckily captured of the 'Manx Missile', flying past us during the 2012 Olympic Road Race, in Richmond Park.

Mark Cavendish, riding for Team GB, second in this shot.

When your luck is out !

Spare a thought for Northern Ireland's jockey Chris Meehan. Riding in Italy he was dismounted by his horse and kicked in the face. Meehan was knocked-out, his nose broken and a gash in his jaw required stitches. But while recovering the ambulance arrived to assist him, backed up and ran over his leg and broke it. "It sounds like a plot from a slapstick sitcom" reported the Racing Post.
