VIDEO: Jay Vine narrowly avoids disaster whilst pitch side at Australian cricket match
Cycling
Jay Vine is back home in Australia currently, getting ready for the opening of his 2025 season at the Tour Down Under, starting on January 21st. Whilst enjoying himself pitch side at an Aussie cricket match though, Vine narrowly avoided what could have been a real disaster.
Taking in a T20 Big Bash game between the Adelaide Strikers and the Sydney Sixers, Vine was in the midst of being interviewed pitch side when Strikers' Alex Ross lasered a shot right in the UAE Team Emirates - XRG rider's direction. Given the weight of a cricket ball, injury was a very realistic possibility for Vine if he'd been hit. Thankfully though, Sixers fielder Lachlan Shaw came flying across to spectacularly stop Ross' shot going for a 6 and saving Vine from injury in the process! In the end, Vine was witness to an exciting game in the BBL too as the Sixers eventually secured a three wicket victory on the penultimate ball of their 20 overs.
See the incident for yourself in the video down below!

- Pain and death have long been distorted since the advent of mass gaming. Death is also a very ambiguous paradoxical topic religiously. I get that people get upset but when you pull your head out the sand and see what really goes on in the world, everywhere, anywhere at any time at every level, when you see certain ideologies, when you see what people do to each other, to kids for the sake of causes, emotions, perversion, kicks or money, the torture done by states, enemies, authorities or just sick individuals, this guy is not even a 6 on a scale of 10. To turn this into drama is like governments fighting plastic pollution with bans on single use straws. Please, these cases get treated, let’s focus more energy on the far worse ones that don’t. The last thing the world needs now is an army of Elons cherry picking examples of evil to hide the bigger picture. Flattening molehills on a mountain.Mistermaumau15-01-2025
- He’s just saying he wants to follow in the footsteps of someone like Roglic or Jonas, I doubt teams, races or exchanges have anything to do with his thinking.Mistermaumau15-01-2025
- He spent 0 races alongside Roglic, I don't understand what he's talking aboutvappaxbipmv15-01-2025
- I get it. Thanks.roadman5412115-01-2025
- His in form race weight is about 130lbs, he was about 120 last year.awp15-01-2025
- That TT was stage 16 of the '23 tour. He lost muscle mass after the crash last year that lightened him up a bit too much.awp15-01-2025
- That super time trial (I forget where?) he did where he blew everyone away was something special. If he gains weight that surely counts against him? What is the thinking on this then?roadman5412115-01-2025
- Yeah, maybe it’s just a Van de Poulidor thing, family is an important influence early in life and neither was very well rewarded by the Tour no matter how much they gave He’s more Van De than Poulidor and I think his main goal was accomplished, avenging the missing Yellow jersey, a GC win being off the table no matter how many Poulidor genes he inherited. He also knows that despite the incredible TdF résumé and respect his grandad (later*) had he sacrificed 15 years of it for a measly 7 stage wins and no real Tour recognition other than the rather ambiguously discerned title of “eternal second”. So on an emotional level I would understand he’s not losing any love here, if his team and sponsors accept then he must have been able to provide convincing arguments, that we’ll most likely never hear of. * Don’t forget the shit other riders put him through for accepting to be the first to be controlled for doping over which the others went on strike, I’m sure the little MVDP got some lasting negative impressions from some of the first hand accounts he got of how your peers can treat you when you don’t follow the herd.Mistermaumau15-01-2025
- You're right mikolajjj, he is a disgusting person and I'm ashamed that he is Italian. It's not about being a vegetarian, it's about not killing animals for fun. Teenage prank? Really? Good and evil, Pain and Death are understood from the age of 6-7 years old.
