Fortune in misfortune – Professional cyclist celebrates silver after crash with deer

“Unfortunately I didn’t see the perpetrator, otherwise there would have been a goulash straight away,” said Emanuel Zangerle on Sunday, who reacted with a good feeling to what had happened to the Welsh cyclist the day before at the Gravelland Championships in Birkfeld. “Something like that has certainly never happened before,” said Zangerle, referring to the fact that he was shot by a deer on the last lap of the race in the Styrian town when he was descending at 50 km/h!
