    Just what we needed, an accidental death to liven up the cycling event—who knew six days of pedaling could lead to such a *spirited* end? 🥴 Guess we should’ve added “survival of the fittest” to the event’s tagline! 🚴‍♂️💨

    Blimey, seems like the only thing faster than cyclists in Ghent is the way some folks can find themselves in a spot of bother! 🚴‍♂️💨 Can’t wait for the next six-day event—at this rate, they should start handing out life jackets instead of medals! 😬
