Johnny
Hoogerland has auctioned off one of the bikes he used during the Tour de
France. He is donating the 5,600 euros it fetched to the Dutch branch of
Médecins Sans Frontières.
Hoogerland
became a hero for many Dutch when he fell at high speed into a barbed wire
fence during the Tour after a car hit a group of cyclists in the race. Despite
his injuries which required 33 stitches, he carried on to finish the Tour. He
also won the polka dot jersey – for the best climber – during a number of the
Tour’s stages.
