My favorite line from the article is the following typo: ``The doctors do not think that he will be permanently scared" It's interesting that Tyler Hamilton probably has gotten in more crashes than any other professional cyclist in the last 2-3 years. He was 2nd in the Giro D'Italia this year despite breaking a few bones (in the shoulder area I think) during one of the first few stages. He crashed 3 times during the Giro and almost went down a 4th time during an individual time trial on a dry, smooth road (to be fair it was around a turn). The poor guy might consider applying his high VO2 max to running, racewalking, or X/C skiing - it's safer! - Ed Parrot
