@MrJoseabel2010

He just tried to gain position, the both did that, so the fault is both.

@Jcena69 That's bullshit. Cavendish moved off his line end of story, disqualified. Worse still he brought Haussler down and ruined his season, arrogant prick.

Wrong title. Should be haussler crashes into cav

[MegaDrew89]

It was a racing accident pure and simple Cav did move off his line but not on purpose. Anyway it's bike racing it happens

@zatarregaza it looks like flex, yeah it's normal considering how much power these guys are putting out at the sprint.. wheels flex first in hard effort (95% of the time)

@55prettyboy Too funny! And someone else claims the wheel collapsed, yet it seems to have magically fixed itself later, as it flies over him, it's perfectly intact. I admire the guy too, but get the feeling watching this, he was assuming he was the fastest, and outpacing the others (Voeckler?) , so he can veer like Grandma across the road, but unfortunately for them both, Haussler was matching his speed - and might have beaten him, who knows?

[zatarregaza]

At 0:10 you see some flex in his front wheel where it touches the asphalt. Maybe it's the image quality... I don't know. Is that normal?

LOL at the multiple front flips!!!!!
