Get the SudoCrem, Savlon and a dozen Band-Aids.
This is not the best way to prepare for the Tour of Spain.
Ben King was competing in the Tour of Utah, on Wednesday, when he was caught up in a mother lode of a crash.
His injuries looked gruesome.
Glad I shaved yesterday. Lots of bandages after crashing at 50mph. pic.twitter.com/KuJvdLNOCo

Cyclists are tough bastards, though. King picked himself up and continued to race.
King later tweeted this short summation of the pile-up.
At 1st I was so angry at the guys who crashed in front of me. Now Im so thankful to be ok. Only thing worse than crashing is quitting.
