There have been cyclist-dog crashes in races before. Potentially very dangerous for the dog as well as the racers.

Apparently Tony Martin lost consciousness twice after crashing yesterday, but he's still in the race. This seems wrong to me. It sucks to crash out so early in such a big race, but I just don't think it's worth the health risk to continue after a serious crash.

Nice win by Bakelants today. He dug deep at the end.
