Vetplant Posted April 3, 2017 Posted April 3, 2017 It looks like his handlebars caught the jacket first, and that steered his wheels into the barrier feet.Have to agree with you there. He was riding on tight margins but that jacket is the culprit of the fall. A little later on you see the same jacket being plucked from the frame of the third rider and flung back into the crowd... It would be interesting to hear the jacket explain his actions in this regard, I'm sure there is a parody twitter account created by now

Wonder Boy rode into a barrier and caused the fall. Where was his start line wheelie when he needed it?The jacket played no part in bringing him down. From all the angles it looks like he hit the barrier legs that were firmly planted on dirt, not pave. The jacket only flew in rider 3 when he veered left to avoid GVA. Gen 1
