It was a city concrete low flower bed (about 2 feet high) that pokes out in the street, he basically sprinted into it in the middle of the race. Geesh, I`m suprised no one saw it or even hinted this may be failure. Not a single bicycle of this planet would have survived.Ti-perenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786784182488135171.post-36464745625166324882008-04-11T06:11:00.000+04:002008-04-11T06:11:00.000+04:00However it broke, I bet it hurt.Are you referring ...However it broke, I bet it hurt.<br><br>Are you referring to the guy that hit the traffic island at the Ronde last weekend?

If you crash hard enough, in the right way, any fork is going to break. Drive a Mercedes into a bridge abutment at 85 mph and you're going to total it and kill yourself, even though it's supposed to be the safest car on the market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4786784182488135171.post-4634231303730994262008-04-10T21:06:00.000+04:002008-04-10T21:06:00.000+04:00Interesting failure mode.
