Nicolas Roche World Championship Diary: Two guys touched wheels and brought Dan down
Nicolas Roche's World Championship diary - World Road Race Championships, Ponferrada (257km)
As the Irish team hotel was only about three minutes away from the start of the world road race championships this morning, the three-man squad of myself, Dan Martin and Philip Deignan cycled into town about an hour before the start.
After signing on, we relaxed and chatted for a while in our team camper van, one used by Sean Kelly's An Post Chain Reaction team during the season, before getting changed and lining up for the race.
