Kelly began the day, stopping only after he couldn't bear the pain of sitting on a sutured incision. Kelly also had to stop the Tour that year, breaking his collarbone. Remember the CBS footage of him riding with it broken, eventually collapsing in tears when he had to stop? Sebastian,

If the rest of his career is any indication, these are sores that would have ended the career of a lesser sportsman. (Also, it's shocking to think how very very close Ireland came to sweeping the Grand Tours that year!)
