Why Crashing Hurts... Arenberg Trench edition: Part 2

Apparently Grischa Janorschke the NetApp rider who crashed spectacularly just as he entered the Arenberg Trench during last Sunday's Paris-Roubaix, didn't come out unscathed as was originally thought. Unfortunately, Grischa sustained a some shattering of his left elbow and a fracture of his left ulna (arm) near the elbow. This was his thrid major crash of the year after crashing out of the Ronde van Drenthe just over a month before P-R with a broken collarbone, and then as a result of the finish line mayhem at the Scheldeprijs crashed and got three stitches in the back of his head. Also, in contrast to speculation about the crash being a result of slipping on the damp cobbles, the current reason for the crash is Janorschke's tire blowing out

Here: is a link to the original article by Chris, and the video that goes along with it (by Chummy93)

Notice how in this video you can see the NetApp rider hold his left arm.
