Image below from the 1961 Milk Race: Proving once again that cyclists are simply a breed apart, Olympian and four-times-stage-winner Jim Hinds tries to bandage himself up after what looks like a bad crash.
Hinds came third overall in the following year’s race, picking up a stage win in Weston-Super-Mare.
He rode for Britain at the 1960 Rome Olympics in the road race and individual time trial, but came away without a medal.(Cycling Weekly)
