Hump day.
Sorry, that should be the other way around....
THIS horrifying picture shows the moment a US man apparently drunk and asleep ploughed into cyclists on a bike race - killing one and injuring at least 10 others.
Driver Juan Campos, 28, was charged with killing Alejandro Alvarez, 37, along the highway near the US-Mexico border.
Authorities said the wreck happened 15 minutes into the 34km race yesterday between Playa Bagdad and Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas.
Campos, who police claimed was drunk and asleep during the incident, said he was an American citizen living in Brownsville. The US Consulate could not immediately confirm that.
"We are looking into the incident in terms of whether American citizens were involved," consulate spokesman Todd Huizinga said.
During the Preston Mountain Classic there were moments of really high speed racing, riders hugging the white line, swapping turns with trucks and other vehicles whipping past from the other direction and all I could think was 'I hope they're paying attention'.
I met Will in Montreal back in 2004. He hails from Ol' Blighty and he travelled the land on a bike that soars into the skies above with his brother.
Read about it.
Stuey tough.

O'Grady back and better than ever
Not three weeks after crashing out of the Giro d'Italia and fracturing his collarbone, Team CSC's Stuart O'Grady not only raced the Bayern-Rundfahrt, but he also took fifth in the race's final 161-kilometer stage from Bad Neustadt to Erlangen. The tough Australian was unfazed by the broken clavicle which, when compared to his massive injuries following a crash in last year's Tour de France, seemed like nothing.
"He's been feeling better and better as the race has progressed so when I asked him if he felt up to doing the sprint, he said yes," said the team's director Scott Sunderland. "We've only got four guys left on the team and there were head winds on the final stretch towards the finish line and unfortunately we lined Stuart up a tiny bit too early so the sprint was too long for him. But just the fact that he even had the strength is absolutely fantastic on top of his recent injury."
