nah, he'd been hucking it all day. Just that that time I think he was flustered from the PREVIOUS crash (just a couple corners earlier) and went too far inside. Wasn't able to save it. 

he had....but the speed he carried at that corner as a result was insane...and eveytime he did it I cringed....i cringed especially hard when he hit the tree...........and then the other tree!

I was fortunate enough to be in Albstadt for the race. What an amazing experience, had goosebumps a few times.

The riders said the course was boring but it showed to be brutal!

 

It would've been a tough day in the office for Schurter is Fluckiger and vdPoel didn't crash, they were both super strong. Just comparing the leaders to the median rider there is a huge difference. 

 

It is crazy to see how fast they go, up and down!

It was an odd choice on his part. He's been showing some serious pace thus far and throws away a potential podium spot by cocking up an unnecessary huck. I get it if you want to give the spectators a little something-something, but don't chuck your race away in the process.

yup - thats why i said he needs to engage brain. Schurter is quite a showman and loves to a few moves for the crowd..but he never did it once here
