Riding the longest TdF stage with pneumothorax incurred in a crash at the start. In layman's terms, that's 147 miles with a collapsed lung.

Reto Hollenstein, IAM touched wheels and crashed at the start today. Was delayed 5 minutes. Chased for 60k to rejoin the peloton and finished with the grupetto, finishing 27 minutes down in 161st place. 6 hours, 47 minutes of racing with a collapsed lung!
I wish I could find the photo of that soccer player feigning injury!
