pista Posted March 17, 2018 Share Just watched the full clip on YouTube. He flew some distance!He never saw that barrier and hit it at full speed. There should have been a marshal to warn the riders. Andrew_Smith and coppi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadonis Posted March 17, 2018 Share Hi I may not be the biggest fan of Cav but no cyclist should experience a crash like he did the race organizers should explain y this obstacle wasn't marshalled. Speedy recovery dude. Mopkop and Spoke101 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mntboy Posted March 18, 2018 Share Just watched the full clip on YouTube. He flew some distance!Which is why it was an horrendous crash to witness live, hey B. The way he was lying on the ground afterwards had me worried. According to hubber Gen in the Classics thread only another broken rib and a few minor injuries iirc. Cav is having a run of rotten luck this year. Sent from my SM-J200H using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grayskull Posted March 18, 2018 Share True that coppi He uncleated from his left footBut his right foot actually came out of his shoe - I think his shoe is still attached to the pedal! - Hows that!? not really........we non professionals fall all the time and mostly silly incidents.

If you are using a race pedal, like say a keo blade, then the force required to pop out without involving a sideways action is massive. The bike tends to stay with you unless the there is a sideways motion to the fall. And even then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried kicking off a shoe without undoing it first (due to laziness) and it just doesn't happen. Some force required to suck a foot out of a done-up shoe.

T-Bob Posted March 18, 2018 Share I'm the first to say 'accidents happen' but it's not a great start to the season for Cav' and a crash in his last 3 race days isn't exactly setting up the season well. I watched the footage again and while I think there should have been a marshal on that bit of road furniture I can't see why Cav' cut across following the EF - Cannonade rider. If he'd stayed on his line it would have been tight but there was enough room on the left. Nasty crash but good that he's not worse off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
