^Didn't one of the passing tv/press cars carve him up and send him off of the road?

Yes. Instead of hitting the brakes the press car swerved into him throwing him over the fence. Horrible

He finished the stage like a boss to hold the polka jersey too. 39 stitches! Had a bit of a cry on the podium. Hard as nails!

Also Reminds me of this:

From Eric Valli's Project 'Off the Grid'

I'm quite fascinated by people turning their back on modern society to pursue their own way of living. What I don't get though is the people in the shot above, obviously styled according to their own fashion sense. It's like a home woven Mad Max with even more dirt. If you decide to become 'one' with nature, do you really have to be that grubby? Or is that the point?

I saw a documentary type thing on bbc a while ago, someone taking a road trip in the states. He met with a man that's been living in the forests for months up in Alaska. He looked like he just stepped out of a cabin with all mod cons. That, to me, feels more in control, like he actually knows what he's doing, and frankly, more sensible?

whilst we're on animals

Not proud, shirly?

What the arctic looked like when I was there... It was apparently the earliest in the year that the captain was able to get a boat up to 81degrees N.
