You certainly wouldn't get that from a Daddy Long Legs.

Nicolas Roche is enjoying some well earned rest in Australia at the end of the cycling season. The Irishman is currently on his honeymoon Down Under but was admitted to hospital earlier this week after getting a spider bite while out for a pedal in the countryside. https://twitter.com/nicholasroche/status/669035695214690306 What kind of bite you say? Well one that has left his arm with a massive bruise and a pretty horrible looking sore on his arm that's what. https://twitter.com/nicholasroche/status/669119909906030592 You'd never get a bite like that off a midge.
