FUCK, hope he´s well?
@hzuhairy virtually impossible on all but the least maintained bike… that said, the wheel was definitely locked up, but sometimes the cable will slip at the clamp on the front brake’s quick release due to under-tightening; it’s the only way you’d totally lose control like that… same thing happened to me when a cop blew a light in manhattan and I slammed into the side of him because my front cable slipped from strangling the lever while the rear locked up.
@bustedbojangles in the rain
Who ever heard of a snapped brake cable?
He nearly hit that baby stroller too, damn!
And that is why you do not spectate at an exit of a turn.
@kingofclapham1
That was pretty obviously an over-cooked corner. That was a typical rear-wheel lockup
Drift style!!!
FAILL!!!
can’t really tell happened but if he locked up even at that speed and in those conditions iam pretty sure you would go flying over the handlebars yeah but ill have a stab in the dark and say that his brake cable snapped and that caused it.

@archernewb your stupid his break kabel snapt that caused the crash
@avidal7 The bike was straight up when he locked up, he didn’t even start turning, he panicked and over braked. I ride motorcycles and bicycles often, I know two wheel dynamics very well.
@archernewb obviously you have never been in a road bike in this conditions…it is extremely slick on the streets leading into towns because of motor oil and diesel…He was going a bit too fast and straight at the road sign in the middle of the two way road…he avoided by going wider and then try to put the left leg down to skid the bike towards the opposite direction without luck…I don’t think he freaked out at all.
L M F A O !!! ! ! ! ! ! !!
him freaking out probably saved his life (putting his body on the far side of the bike.) His miss judgement of the speed caused him the crash .
Terrible riding skills, he freaked out causing him to crash.
ouch
oeeeeeh. oeeeeh, haha i played ‘oooooeh’ like 5 times, lmao
they are stupid enough to stand in the outward bent so I don’t feel sorry for them.
The crashes get even better when you watch rallycars disappear into the public!
spectators had no time to react he was going too fast!
@Cvrle94 that was a slo mo clip, in real life he was doing around 40 mph, they had no time to react
Whats amazing is that he stays up on his bike the whole time he drifts across the road.
@Cvrle94 wut do u wunt them to do get hit by a speeding bike NICE THINKING!!!
omg…. those RETARDS … they were looking at him sliding towards them and NOBODY moved ???? ….. they deserved to get seriously injured for being such IDIOTS!! … omfg … i stil cant believe that ppl can be so stupid… hope they never go to watch that tour ever again!..
