Got caught in a crash too. Poor lamb

May have been Simon Clarke in the Giro as mentioned by @Adam4868

And he made an excuse that he was celebrating retaining the lead - just be more human and admit it.

LIzzy Banks won in a two-up break. Little-known Dutch rider Annemiek van Vleuten came in 3rd (a minute later) and threw her arms in the air. She then pinched Lizzy's victory champagne on the podium, apparently still thinking she won the stage. I think this reflects more on the Giro's anarchic organisation than on AvV.

(this story from Banks, on The Cycling Podcast; yet to hear AvV's version of the day)

Has anyone SOO experienced made that particular boo-boo in such a prestigious race?

Erik Zabel showed Oscar Freire how NOT to finish Milan San Remo in 2004...

That may be the best 2nd place finish pose in history of sport 😂

We may have a winner here. Zabel was a 4-time winner of MSR, and finished world No1 that season.
@ColinJ , you are now in the golden hot seat👍
