I spose i cant talk too much about crashes - i've crashed out of all my Australian Championships - and two operations later im still feeling the effects. I also smacked face first into the Road last year while in the middle of a sprint.

Thor's crash at the Canberra Milk Race many years ago was one of the worst i've ever seen. Im suprised he survived it. He hit a bridge railing on a descent and flew over the bridge to the rocks below. He'd made a break at the top of the hill and was about 20 seconds in front. I came onto the bridge to find his bike in the middle of the road but no rider. Most of us stopped and when we looked over the edge he was trying to move. Trying. I'll never forget that tour.
