Crash #2 for the year and we not even halfway through it yet.You'd think that a guy that earns as much as he does that he'd at least be able to stay on a bike and ride a full season sometime.

It's that ridiculous looking lid that threw him off-balance.

Curious to know how you crash so badly in a TTT

 

 

First crash of the season was due to an automatic braking system sensor not being turned off on the lead commissars car. Riders got to close it braked and pile up. A few went down, Cav landed on the shoulder that he damaged in that 'Sagan sprint' in last years TdF. 

 

This one was hitting a pot hole. 

 

""It was very likely a pothole that hit his back wheel," said Dimension Data director Rolf Aldag. "There's a lot of holes in the riding line, he probably hit one of those and at 60kph, it never ends really good. On the TT bike, you're down low with the load on the front, so if you go down, you go on your head so of course that's not too cool."

Would have thought front of the TTT line and team mates would warn of approaching potholes.... at least he managed to get up and ride .... so likely just a few roasties and nothing more

hit a man when he's down!

 

Sucks for DDD, because he's a huge part of the investment.

Wasn’t a pothole but a touch of wheels

Lol....on a TTT there aint no other riders around....unless he was so fast/slow that he passed/was passed by another. SO no touching of wheels really a reason here mate...
