Dang splinter!

An often unknown aspect of velo racing are the hazards of the course. 

This dude got a 10 inch piece of pine through his calf during a race!

He also got up and finished the race. He was involved in a Keirin race where there is an awesome pace bike and a mad sprint at the end. This isn't the race, but it's a good Keirin race with a sweet crash.



Lauren brought this one to my attention BTW.
