54 years 6 monthsWE THOUGHT police motorcyclsits were meant to be the cream of the crop but we're starting to question that.
Check out this crash during a stage of the Giro d'Italia over the weekend - a dozey Italian officer edged his bike in too close to the peloton and caused a mass crash which took out Team Sky.
It's the second example of poor police riding we've seen recently after the an officer in London crashed while escorting a member of the royal family.
