Bearing Thomas Crash
Just seen Geraint Thomas smack his head on a telegraph post doing about 30mph. Do you think he would have been able to continue the race had he not been wearing a helmet ?

In fairness, this is the sort of crash where a helmet could well have done him a great favour.
Unfortunately most of the crashes where helmets are referred are more of the "driven over by a lorry" variety, than the "headbutted a telegraph pole" type, so I agree that it is a bit spurious to enter a data point from the latter as evidence for the former.
No.You are quite wrong. This is the first time ever that I have posted on this site. I have commented loads of times on other people's posts though.
Good old Kask
The title should read Geriant not Bearing. My bloody Nexus can be a bit temperamental !
