Mike and Thomas were having a great day hanging with the pros in the Queen Stage down in the Cape Epic. Thomas found his legs, and they were both riding well until the last 2k when a rider went down in front of Mike. Mike was wearing the camera, so you get to see his perspective as he goes down. Somehow he was able to limp to the finish as Thomas nursed him home. The unedited video of the crash as well as the fancified version is below. Hard to watch, but he’s okay. A kidney bruise and hip contusion forced him out of the race. Heal up, Mike.
