Cow crash in Tour of Thailand

Jeff Jones

British cyclist Neil Rothwell crashed after hitting a cow while in a break with Hong Kong's Wong Ngai Ching in the fourth stage of Tour of Thailand.

"I'm fine now. I was concerned about my back after the crash. However, the x-ray has shown that the bones are intact. Only a few bruises and scratches on my back," Rothwell told local newspaper The Nation after the stage.

"I think I will compete in the final stage tomorrow but let's see how far the pain affects my riding. However, I'd love to make it to the final if I can," he added.
