Ugh... Definitely a break there. Not fun at all. Bad memory time ... At least the break isn't displaced. It could be worse. Is there a pic of him hitting the ground?

I haven't found one, the only camera that seemed to catch the crash was the one OLN was using for their live coverage, and the view was obstructed by the guys who were in front of the crash. I watched it too many times to count and never saw Lance, Tyler or Levi hit the deck. But you could see the guy in the orange jersey ride over one guy (Casper?) and still stay upright!

Yes it was bad memory lane for me, too. I was lucky never to break my c-bone, but just the sound of all the metal and tires blowing and guys wearing their bikes always reminds me why I'm content not racing anymore.
