Does anybody else miss Tony McCoy?

I missed him in the 2nd last at Cheltenham on Sat when I was waiting on Heres Herbie for 4 up in a yankee and about 3 grand. After Ms Alexander was beaten a neck and a hd with her limp lettuce finish, I fantasised fpr about 5 mins on how AP would have won a length. The I remembered he wouldn't have got the ride and can't do 9-10 anyway and calmed down.
 
He was caught up in an accident on the M4 on Wedneday morning when a truck and car collided in front of him and left him with nowhere to go. Perhaps his experience of many similar situations on the racecourse helped him deal with it. In any case nobody was hurt even though the truck overturned and all three vehicles are written off.
 
Yes watched it at the racecourse, tbh I was slightly disappointed with it, didn't really learn anything or see anything I hadn't seen before. The one thing we took from it was how selfish an individual he could be, but there again in his own words "I had to be to achieve what I did". Loved the shot of his boy in Chantelle's arms munching away at a bag of sweets, totally unaware his Dad was the centre of attention at Sandown on the last day.

We didn't stay for the Clare Balding interview afterwards as having been to the Cheltenham Literature Festival where he was interviewed about his new book, we felt it would be the same old questions and answers.
