Near the end of stage 2 of the 2017 Amgen Tour of California (May 15, 2017), while riding in a five-man break, Toms Skujiņš apparently got caught up in a crack in the pavement that pulled his front wheel out from under him causing him to go down hard. Clearly knocked silly, he should never have been allowed to get back on his bike. We always knew Toms was a machine, we just didn’t know that his programming was so dedicated to getting on down the road. We will miss him on the rest of the tour, but mostly we’re glad he’s still alive.

I would never suggest getting in a fight with tarmac because you will loose. pic.twitter.com/YCqHNbgwDc
