Close Call

These photos are screen captures from today's stage of the Tour of the Basque Country. For some reason (which will hopefully be explained on today's broadcast), the riders took a sudden u-turn in the middle of the highway. The black car (an officials car and not just some random vehicle on the road) nearly took out the leading three guys.






One other memorable moment from today's broadcast was when Christian Vande Velde said to one of the guys, "if you're not going to pull through, I'm going to attack you." It was a funny moment. I was surprised he was speaking English, and even more delighted that the nat sound of Universal Sports' on-line broadcast (which is sometimes pretty droll) captured something so interesting.
