Poor old Eki - sounds horrible, especially the corset he has to wear for 6 weeks.
Didn't he retire a few years ago only to start up again the following season?

Armstrong seems to have the luck of the devil. If the pothole had been a fraction wider he could have gone down, or, as Emily is experiencing rode into the back of Eki when he stopped.

Should start a new thread entitled 'How many lucky scrapes has Lance had during his career? '
