While he was able to stand up again, his chances of a spectacular unexpected win had gone up in smoke.<\/p>\n<p id=\"277754c5-902a-4d6c-86ae-77772c6a57f5-2\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">&#8220;I wanted to get onto my drops and just at that moment there was a pothole that I didn&#8217;t see, that wasn&#8217;t marked.
