What about that reflector hop and tire gank?? Seems really exaggerated! Like sneezing and blowing over a building

[AllanVarcoe]

Pretty darn good tuck and roll by the guy in the floro helmet but then to get body checked in the end just sucked! Ugh. Hope everyone was ok!

[thermalattorney]

I'm impressed with orange-helmet guy managing to get perpendicular but poor green helmet guy on the Felt. He takes that endo like a champ but gets runover twice.

Apparently nobody was seriously hurt. Can't believe green helmet didnt break a wrist or collarbone.... yea, poor SOB got the brunt of all that unfortunateness

exactly. i fully suspect his left arm is not right.

[Mzilliox]

Hey that my home town! dude in orange goes down in a crazy sort of way...Glad everyone is all right.

looks way different to the video my buddy took of his 9 yr old son riding to the finish.:bike:

Looks like he panicked and locked up the rear brake...

Crazy nobody was really hurt. The poor bloke in the green helmet (3rd wheel pre-crash) gets body-slammed hard right before the slo-mo ends!

[pasadena]

Rear wheel hit the bott dot,
hopped,
landed sideways, and rolled the tubular off the rim

tire jammed between frame, locked up rear wheel,

skid sideways

Ahhh, I had to turn up my resolution! Good eye.

[alioup]

It was actually a pedal strike

DOOD - good eye indeed! You're right, and that explains the crazy hop that a reflector shouldn't have caused

[Dead Man]

Having suffered a similar pedal strike that put me down at 25mph once upon a time, I'm kinda surprised I didn't catch that myself

But everyone has been maintaining it was the reflector, so I guess I just took it as granted.

[pasadena]

It was actually a pedal strike

oh yeah good eye

i was just about to say that, he definitely hit the ground there just a tiny bit, thats all it takes, happened to me twice in cx races this past season...:crap:

That was Travis McCabe... He wins the next day!

Call me crazy, but if he didn't roll that tubie, I think he saves it.

then he got pummeled by two guys at :28 and another two guys at :44 and :46.
yikes. poor dude.

From Canadian Cycling Magazine....

Coming into the final right-hand corner of the elite men’s 90-minute crit, Silber were well positioned at the front of the peloton. Castillo entered the corner first with Dahl glued to his wheel. As the designated sprinter for Silber, Doyle was perfectly positioned. However the race plan unraveled when Dahl clipped a pedal in the corner and his rear-wheel lost traction bringing the Silber rider down. Travis McCabe (Holowesko-Citadel) went head-over-handlebars running into a tumbling Dahl.

[David Tollefson]

The last guy to go down (:47-48, just at the end of the slo-mo) follows classic crash advice -- look for a body to land on....

Nope, hit one f these little reflector things in the road. NOPE, pedal strike?

[unterhausen]

looks like someone hit McCabe's ankle and endos. So much for the advice to aim for the neck

[cderalow]

the part where floro helmet guy is airborne, bike 45° to the road, still clipped in and tucked to ride is quite impressive.

right before he splays out like a frog mid jump.

[superbowlpats]

Just another reason why I don't race crits. that and my fitness level :o

[bcroslin]

I watched a buddy to the same thing in a corner after a pedal strike. He called it "high siding."

[Mr_Gimby]

Almost looks like the pedal struck the reflector in the road. Reflector would be ~1cm higher than the pavement, seems like others at similar lean angles don't have strike issues...Perfect timing for pedal to nail the reflector??

[ANAO]

Alternate angle:

A few spectators have umbrellas out.....

True, and weird... but the road is dry and he obviously had a pedal strike, which sent him sideways and ripped his tire off. So I don't think water played any part at all.

[Dead Man]

He's definitely got a lot less pedal clearance than his competitors, coming into the turn, and they're all hitting it at the same angle of attack... so he's obviously either got more BB drop or wider pedals than everyone else. Maybe both. Looks like flouro guy, for instance, has enough clearance to have missed the reflector, even if he'd had the same ride over it.

It's pretty crazy how little margin for error there is on pedaling through corners, though. Just depends on way too much stuff - angle of attack coming into the curve, whether or not you make any course corrections mid-lean (like maybe seeing the reflector and trying to miss it, causing the lean to be a little deeper than intended?), etc... I've pedaled through some turns I definitely shouldn't have made it through, yet have also had unexpected strikes - worst was when I unexpectedly had to make a course correction and leaned harder than intended - popped me up just like this guy... but early in the turn, so I just went down and slid for like 20'... bad week for wearing pants.

Yellow bike and helmet about 45 seconds in... runs out of an endo. Pretty impressive.

[betahprod]

I'm curious what was being said when this crash happened. The slow-mo makes it sound like someone was screaming, "Nooooooo," the entire way through. Hope those folks are better! Kudos to the guy who managed not to endo and jump over everyone

[unterhausen]

I think the sound is just the announcer talking. I like it, but turning it down a bit was a really good idea

Hate seeing Spatacus on the ground:(

But amazing that Sagan stayed upright. :eek:

Doesn't this just trash your bike? Doesn't seem worth it to me.:confused:

What is this in response to?

Agreed, riding a bike isn't worth it.

When it comes to crits, race what you can replace.

[cachagua]

The part I like is the AMR banner on the barrier.

Good trademark placement!

My road bike is titanium with DA9000... My crit bike is aluminum with 105

Makes sense! Thanks for the additional information guys!. :hello:
