Dicky Virenque bangs his head

Housewive's favourite, Richard Virenque, may well find himself burdened with the moniker of "naughty nurse's favourite" too, having crashed in the Alps today. With 32 stitches in the head and a broken nose, Dicky must've crashed out in style.

Now, in a strange instance of life imitating that James Waddington book we read ages ago, he's been taken to the most up-to-date intensive care unit in Grenoble. We're trying to find something funny to say about it all, but it's hard because Reesharr is one of those few riders that we like. He's a flashback to the pre-Voeckler days, when French cycling had national heroes who were actually good.

Get well soon, Richard. If you're really ill, that is. Which you probably aren't, since we found this story on a Canadian site called SLAM! Sports rather than a reputable source.

What's the word "derailed" got to do with bikes anyway?

  • Err... bikes have things called derailleurs? Apart from track bikes, which don't.

If derailleurs evolved from fixies, how come there are still fixies?
