Because triathlon

Remember that time Bouber was crushing triathlon world championships in Italy, out on the bike course, and he was savagely attacked by Alligators?

JEEZUS.

I've shot deer that died that didn't look that bad.

On the plus side, though, I imagine Tommy B got to sample the elaborate healthcare system provided by the the nation of Italy.  Or his wife gave him a bottle of Grapa to drink, then hit him in the back of the head with the empty, stitched that thing up to proper Belgian standards.  Either way, there's a story there.

Feel better, TB.
Heal up, up, up.
