Wet roads, travel circles and speed are not the best recipe for safe riding. Fortunately for Benoit Cosnefroy (Ag2r La Mondiale) he was able to stay upright when his teammate leaned into him on the slippery corner. In fact Cosnefroy was able to help his teammate remain upright, although the bumping made it necessary for the Frenchman to hop over the curb to avoid crashing himself. The duo were on the front of the peloton, so it could have been much worse save for the bike handling skills on display. Unlike us average riders, these guys race for 10,000 kilometers a year and train for nearly as many kilometers. Their bikes are as familiar as our own feet are.
