The winner Massimo was dismounted immediately after passing the post and was somewhat distressed, having several buckets of water thrown over it as well as looking a bit lame , so put the camera down after this in case it collapsed, but eventually walked back to plenty of applause from the crowd for what was an impressive win actually.
