His bike though was badly damaged, this remember is no ordinary bike, the machine in the pictire above costs around £10,000 and hat is a rough estimation.

Froome also known as Froomey tweeted that he was fine after the crash, but the driver did not stop.

Cycling is not safe anywhere these days, here in Trafford with the roads being so bad and the standards of driving now at an all time low, we suggest to all cyclists more so the road guys to take extra care when out ad about and always wear a helmet.

We also suggest bringing with your pump and puncture kit a small first aid box and some money and always a mobile phone, just a tiny nokia one will do, they are light and small but will be of great use if the worse happens.
