Nicolas Roche bitten by spider again; this wound looks horrible

This is the pretty gruesome sight of a second massive spider body on the body of Nicolas Roche after his first injury in November.

 

Having been forced off the bike during a train spell in Australia in November due to a spider bite, Nicolas Roche has incredibly suffered the same bad luck.

The Team Sky pro has shared this photo via his Twitter account revealing another nasty looking bite from another spider.

Roche has just been hospitalised and will spend the next three days undergoing treatment and observation for what can only be described as perhaps the most bizarre stroke of bad luck we can recall befall any rider during the off season.

Get well soon Nico!
