Apologies if you've seen this already, but it's worth seeing if you haven't.

Was he OK? Is he out of Le Tour?

f*** me

"Schleck misjudged a tight right-hand bend and slammed into the guardrail, flipping over and falling down the other side. He was miraculously unharmed, apart from scrapes and bruises, but ultimately finished 2'52" back in 44th place."

Watching that video I was thinking multiple fractures of the leg at the very least!

It did'nt look like there was anything on the otherside of the guardrail to stop him. Miraculous he was relatively unharmed!

He almost seemed to anticipate the crash, got himself ready for the impact and eased himself over the barrier. Lucky the drop wasn't worse!
