In the last stage of Paris-Nice, i had a clown of an irishman take down 25 riders in one fell swoop. Those 25 included four of the top 10 riders.

Most crashes I only see 2-4 riders go down. THis season in the Giro (can't remember the stage) there was a 17 rider crash during a bunch sprint. The best crash (or funniest) ever for me only involved one rider. It was Levi Leipheimer. He attacked on a small mountain top and kept a high pace going downhill to the finish. His red bars were filling quickly and they were almost a full 4 bars at the 2k to the finish mark. I put him into a sprint just as his fourth bar was completely filled and he fell over in the straightaway. There was no one within 1.5K of him. I guess he could not take the extra effort |

Biggest crash in my life was in Giro...stage one - 27 riders went down about 5 km before finish line. Then another 15 went down and then next 7. In that fall were included Cunego, leader Savoldelli or Petacchi. But all of them finished the stage with gap +0! |
