Casualties
I'm told that during the first leg of Tour de Timor, one rider ended up with a cracked hip and had to be taken to the national hospital in Dili. There were at least two other spills. I think this shows they aren't exaggerating when they say the Tour de Timor might well be the most challenging bike tour ever staged.
And the first day is the "easy" day. The roads only get worse from hereon in. Just wait until day four. Could be a few more casualties, but let's hope nothing serious.
