Look at the debris on the ground behind him as he sits by the barrier-those are parts of his rear rim.

All of that debris seems to appear when he hits the barrier.

I'm guessing one, if not two shooters.

It's a good thing that we have things like this to speculate about without knowing squat about the facts. Keeps us occupied until the weather becomes more conducive to riding in some parts of the country.

The wind double tapped him. Look at the gusts of wind on the finish flags and trees. Makes perfect sense. And also why they blamed it on sand, Trek doesn't want their bikes to look bad in windy conditions.

It doesn't look like wind to me unless he made the complete opposite correction he should of.. by the time he gets to this point of his career wind correction should be automatic.. he doesn't move sideways or get pushed by the wind and the bike never really leans the bike over much to try and compensate. It just seems unlikely to me. Maybe some kind of bump or something but it still seems like a stretch unless the geometry of that bike is just completely wacked.
It seems like a front wheel issue to me not the back wheel.. if something failed I would have said something in the stem? There's no way I'd expect anything on that bike to be less than super stiff I guess. It surely didn't help that he wasn't looking where he was going cause he decided to use his helmet as a parachute... but I'd still bet on some kind of bike failure that they don't want anyone to know about. The worst thing IMO is they way no one seemed to care at all that he was down and clearly hurt. |

Rear end failure: flat, broken stay, chain, etc.
The camera angle doesn't help diagnose this. Possibly shot at from the sandy knoll by a desert sniper. |

The wind looks like a tailwind in the final stretch so hard to see it knocking him over.. if it's not a failure I'm going to go with him just being cooked and he yanked on the bars sprinting while not looking where he was going and then lost control really fast due to the geometry of the bike.
edit: Some of the comments on the Youtube video are that his arm popped off the pads.. it does kind of look like his left arm came out. Last edited by benb; 02-24-2021 at 01:52 PM. |
