These Guys Are Tough!

You've got to love professional bike riders. Johnny Hoogerland is sent flying by a nitwit car driver into a barbed wire fence...






He is torn to shreds by the barbed wire, but gets up to finish the stage and claim the polka dot jersey for best climber in the tour. Unbelievable.

LeMond vs. Fignon, 1989

My favorite stage of my favorite race ever. Greg LeMond is down by 50 seconds to Laurent Fignon going into the final stage of the 1989 Tour de France which is, surprisingly, a time trial. Fignon says that LeMond doesn't have the heart to catch him. Is that so, Mr. Fignon?
