So i read the Bicycling link on the crash.
(why the bicycling link? blind link from a CX guy)
anyway
This comment:
"Television replays show him on the verge of acceleration as he jumped back onto his group after a long pull, when suddenly his back wheel hit a bump on the uneven section of the road. His bike wheeled around from under him, throwing him to the pavement, with the right side of his body and head taking the blow. He slid for about 15 meters before stopping, motionless. "
Take a pull on a down hill? Anyone ridden with me much will know I like to go to the front on the downhills and pull. Now it is a collossally stupid move for me riding with little guys. It is still work, and yeah I can drop most people with some work but it takes a f*ck load of work, lots of watts. And so it makes sense, pulling on the down hill to limit losses or to reel back a break, you do it and well. Ya need to rest and recover in the draft.
You just don't coast down hill at 80km/hr.
Anyway... wanted to get that thought out of my head as i'm out the door.
