My buddy Brad Huff in the Tour of Guatemala went down avoiding a too slow moto in front of him, slid under a guardrail and is cut to ribbons

If you don't follow him on twitter or Facebook you need to. Funny guy, cool as the other side of the pillow and tough as nails.

"Slick pavement. Fast downhill. Motos in the way and going to slow. I was just a few meter off the front with one or two riders in front of me. One rider hits or nearly hits the Moto. I skidded to avoid the second Moto and I think the tubular tire rolled because of the angle I was attempting miss the Moto at. Went under the guard rail. BIG drop off the ledge in to the jungle. Like a 10ish foot drop. . Hanging in vines and the jungle. I thought my leg was broken. I knew my back was cut up as it burneddddddddd but I had no idea how bad. I had to do a self assessment as NO ONE checked on me. Lots of pain, leg wasn't broken, just deadened from the impact with the guardrail. Then I climbed back up and a wasp stung me TWICE. SERIOUSLY! Fucking twice! Then EVERYONE was gone. No cars. No ambulance. Luckily I see one Moto off the back of the race caravan. No team cars or anything in sight. Sitting there for what seemed 10 minutes while they say someone is coming. I keep asking for a wheel. Luckily a team car following the race but wasn't in the race had a wheel in the trunk (OLD 9 speed rust bucket of a wheel but it worked) and I rode in 6km with a police escort through traffic. Ouch. My poor team had NO idea I was even gone until they finished. I saw our director running down the road towards me as they took me towards the media tent. Then I immediately had to do an interview after I finished. Yes an interview. I wasn't happy about it. Luckily the medic tent was next door so I got cleaned up quickly. Went to hospital in an ambulance to fight island traffic better. 2 hrs later, 30+ stitches and being thankful to not be seriously injuried. I can't thank my Rally team enough for their support and love in response to this situation."
