Tour Gap Jump

We were talking about this the other day, so here you go (linked from Mountain Biking UK - where there's an article about it):

...Due to a last minute brake check to ensure the safety of the riders below, Dave came up slightly short and was bucked by his bike into the rocky tranny...

...Released from the hospital with a partially separated shoulder, sore back, neck, and a severely bruised groin, Dave will recover fully...

Done for New World disorder 2 or 3. That shot looks doctored though. I'm pretty sure that in the footage the riders are past the spot before he leaves the lip

Here's the article from Kona...

Have a look at the spectator (male) three up from the pole. He's looking straight up at the jumper. Mind you I don't have a protractor so it is possible he is looking at the lip.

He does indeed go over the back runners before loosing his pants
