tubed Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 He is very very lucky, one of the most hectic crashes: http://cyclingtips.com.au/2015/08/brammeier-on-recovery-path-after-dramatic-utah-impact-im-just-happy-to-be-in-one-piece/
JanvdW Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Does anyone know more detail on how it happened?I saw the crash, it was terrible, and I am puzzled by the fact that Brammeier did not seem to enter the corner in good line, or appropriate speed. He seemed to brush the inside curb and carried on in a straight line at full speed as if heading for the trees on the far side.I am relieved that he survived, and our prayers are with him for a speedy and full recovery.
CAAD4 Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 One has to wonder that if the VWorsche was not in the road, that he possibly would have gone straight into the forest or off the edge of something....
Pure Savage Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) To be honest, I have done something similar coming in a little too hot down Constania Nek towards Kirstenbosch, half way through the corner the bike decided going straight was better than cornering, ended up in oncoming lane then the flower bed. Hence why can understand how this could occur. Edited August 19, 2015 by Pure Savage
