are you still riding your giant tcr after this crash? I know it's been over a year since the video was uploaded. I don't think a carbon fiber frame can last this long after a crash.
I'm still riding it, it's great. my mountain bike is carbon, i crash it hard every time i ride, it's still going strong. .my 'cross bike is carbon, i crash it at least once every race, it's still great. carbon fiber is strong, durable and repairable and hasn't been seen as a controversial frame material for at least 5 years...
I was in the wheel pit. The idiot official told us to go BEFORE the field had even reached the S/F line. Most of us didn't listen to him but a couple guys jumped into the course without looking and caused the crash. One guy sliced his leg open and another broke his wrist.
i heard people mention that they let riders out of the pit early, but i thought they were referring to the start of lap 3 (i saw that from the sidelines).

Best response upon going down ever, "Fuckin-A, that's ridiculous." hats off to you for being so level headed.

yeah- kind of silly when the officials are supposed to be acting in the best interests of the participants!

Awesome watt meter widget, did you make that? Does it just take an SRM datafile? Is this publically available?
thanks!

@dpouncy sorry to hear...nothing worse than being taken down. BTW, I really like your vids...interesting to see a cat 1/2 from a cat 4 perspective.

Looks like they let the riders that crashed the previous lap in too early.
