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.
