PIC: Nicolas Roche is having no luck with his second vicious spider bite in as many months

Yikes

Nicolas Roche isn’t exactly having an ideal start to 2016.

Having spent four days in an Australian hospital in November after sustaining a nasty spider bite on his arm, the Irish cyclist would have done a lot worse to make a New Year’s resolution to avoid all kinds of arachnid gnawings over the next 12 months.

That didn’t exactly last long as the Team Sky representative shared a photo of yet another bite which has forced him to spend a further three days in hospital at the start of the year.

And you thought you had bad luck!
