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.

@c2thew

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...

Did you get back up?

@geslien

I didn't re-enter. My rear wheel and race was over.

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

[balimoon06]

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!
