Gonna hurt

[ngala24]

Not sure if posted before, sorry if it has been

 

 

[GTfan]

OUCH, that could hurt

[Azonic]

That's what happens when you put all your power into the pedals and you foot pulls out.

 

Or, some mofo switches you.

 

Luckily neither have happened to me.

Can you say "plastic surgery" boys and girls?

Hope he got disqualified, he's technically still in the sprint and his hand is off the bar.

[Guest colonel]

His teeth are going to be out his mouth aswell.

[gummibear]

Theo Bos must be close by

[PhilipV]

Can you say "Faceplant?"

[nicd]

Nee man!

Hey you're not suppose to show pics like this

 

It's the part of our sport that we don't talk about

 

We just refer to "hitting the deck", "losing skin", "wiped"or "withdrew from the race"

 

A case like that will be refered to as "visited hospital"

Can you see his expression on his face?

 

OUCH!!!

Have seen it b4 & it's worth asking if folk think this has been photo-shopped.

 

It looks to me like it's a normal picture of a cyclist inserted at an unusual angle.

 

Also there's no reaction from the other riders and no sign of what might have caused his predicament.

 

Must be about time for the pics of those mtbikers going around the narrow cliff ledge to come round again.

oooh oooh I'm cleva, no really I am - I reckon the clincher on this one is that there is no shadow in the photo from the flying rider.

[scotty]

Yeah also think its photo shopped, the specatators in the background dont appear to have a reaction, unless they all so used to riders somersaulting.

[Slowbee]

i phink its photoshopped

 

the wheels are not spinning, even with a high shutter speed to catch the spokes like that is unlikely

 

[GFishy]

I think it is girls racing in the States
