Damn you Top Gear

[norrahe]

Top Gear last night - aaaarrrrrggghhh! Not only is Sebastian Vettel a f***ing great driver, but he appears to have a good sense of humour as well.

and what's wrong with that?

Talking of Mad Max, the car always wins.

Apparently the guy that got punted into the barbed wire fence needed 30 stitches but waited until he'd finished the stage before getting them. Ballsy to even get back on the bike when the crew cars are on a rampage.

A I alone in thinking that looked deliberate? Or was the guy just sending a text/checking facebook/tweeting like probably 20% of drivers I see?

Nah it's the Suitys on their way to the south of France, SY01 just realised he should be driving on the right.

From the reports it was an independant media car that shouldnt have been where it was to begin with and should never have tried to overtake the riders.

Only specified vehicle are allowed to get in front of the leaders, generally bikes, and there are very strict rules on when there are and arn't allowed to overtake them.

Looking at the video he simply cut back in too early after the overtaking manouver.

There was more carnage further back as well. Multiple pile up at the 102k mark with one guy ending up in the trees at the side of the road with a suspected broken femur. Remember, these guys can be doing 30-40 mph within inches of each other. All it takes is one rider to make a mistake and it all goes wrong very very fast.

That car has now been taken off the road. I suppose it was a matter of time before a car hit someone..a motorcycle already hit a rider on the third stage I think. There have been a lot of crashes this year with Wiggens out with a broken collar bone and Vinokourav out with a broken femur and possibly the end of his career.

And Cavendish didn't win today.
