OMG, you don't mean today? If it's what I think you mean, it was some old
lady's handbag strap, according to what I read....

You wouldn't believe the kinds of things that happen, though. Just looking
at the footage that one poster suggested from the binary groups it was hard
to watch. They had a 'greatest crash footage' montage from some stages back
in the 80s. People just running out into the road and stuff, one guy
expecting the biker to ride around him apparently, but the guy (duh) riding
was concentrating on his finishing sprint.

please say it wasn't today! (I missed the end of the stage to go ride)

I'm pretty sure Steve was talking about the 2003 musette bag
incident. (That just can't happen ever again. No way.)
