In reply to Rigid Raider:
> There's a video doing the rounds that was taken a few seconds before the crash where Froomey is taking off a jacket and handing it to a car (or donning it - not sure) and somebody says "don't take any risks Chris!"
He was trying to put it on but the jacket, being so light weight, was being blown around and although he got one arm in the wind was blowing the jacket round and he abandoned trying to get it on. I saw this happen a couple of times during the Giro and it's a very risky manoeuvre if it's wet and or windy.
