Watching the highlights on Versus/NBC Sports/WHATEVER last night, I could't believe how fast those guys are running. There's probably a lot of stuff we don't even hear about. If Cody Quinn hadn't been such a big story last year, would we have seen and heard about his spectacular crash yesterday?

Here's a link to another USA rider, Ned Suesse. He talks about someone hitting a cow at speed. Yikes.

Major bummer........Godspeed !
