Anyone who has ever raced knows the feeling of being this guy at the very back - you know you're a goner as soon as somebody lets a wheel go but there's nothing you can do about it. This line-out was at the Tour of Ulster on Monday's final stage. The photo was supplied by Gary McIlroy, many thanks to him!
We said in our race report from the final stage of the Amber Green Energy Tour of Ulster there were line-outs, and now we have the photo to prove it.
This pretty epic shot was taken by the inimitable Gary McIlroy; super commissaire and one of the people who keep cycling in Ireland on the road.
The Irish Road Club man was officiating this weekend on the Tour of Ulster and when he saw this scene unfold in front of him, he took a snap to share on Facebook.
