For those who don't understand the crash, this was not his fault the cross wind coming from that opened ridge between those 2 wall covered corners made that dull disc wheel act as a sail pushing him into the second wall. He did tried to brake which in my opinion was the correct thing to do as he would of hit that wall at full speed if he had not used his brakes. Full disc wheels going downhill is very dangerous exactly what you seen here.
Was his fault. Panicked from the gust and tried breaking instead of leaning into the turn more with his body. All pro cyclist are not good bike handlers. Actually most aren’t.
@@Matt-jp9vy omg another "Pro" in the youtube comments. You try to fucking ride down at that speed with those handles bars and set up. you absolute idiot. you'd have zero chance.
Nobody but the rider is responsible for the way the bike takes and how fast you ride a corner. I know these damn wheels from triathlon and everybody who rides them knew the effect of the wind and everybody who is smart adapts to that. I am sure these pro riders have more time to test this stuff and experience than us riding our happy weekend events.
@@kaffeemitcola6506 Well not really I had several misses without even a full disc wheels on and on flat land. The older Sava frames were less aero on the downtubes so if you used 60 mm wheels on both front and back even at 180lbs you were were tossed to the side of the road with 25 km hr cross winds. Built several bikes since and never had this issue ever again, still have the old Sava but switched to 32 mm wheels on it which have no issue with even 30 km hr winds. These downhill TT's should never be done in my opinion as the TT bikes were mever designed to have full control when going downhill. There has been several TT downhill crashes here on youtube posted and it's all the same issue coming out of corner the wind taking the bikes past the middle line and then crash into the guardrails or the reverse wind coming into the mountain and they crash into the side of the hills.
@@shimona500 wheels take impact ok , but they start breaking down pretty quickly once you puncture on a rough rapid descent and it takes a while to slow down and running the carbon on the road
@@paulschmidtke425 Yup. It all depends, steel is more reliable, but carbon frames sometimes take impact well. Or sometimes top and downtube are in half. Very inconsistent.
@@GiJoe94 yeah but in a different meaning : the full disc rear wheel is the reason why he crashed, and the bike of excellent quality has nothing to do with, it was the rider's choice moutin' it...
He did what I used to do when falling from a push bike.Jumping off and use my shoulders to land.Is painfull and protect one from head aches ..but of course you need to think fast .
I do not know if he would have died but he could have been dead after beeing in hectical braking action with a tooo hard stopping wheel... I prefer the feedback on my rimbrake bikes and I like them for different reasons a lot better than discs.
Not gonna ride with disc wheel ever again outside of velodrome
Im surprised that front spinergy dident colapse before that accident

@@Matt-jp9vy He had to brake hitting that wall at 80km hr would be bad. Funny crash though lol

How was he even riding that thing right afterwards?
with adrenaline levels higher than the Burj Al Arab
Definitely not a carbon bike 😂
Es de carbono, el cuadro y las ruedas.
@@AndresMUy-vd2fy did not translate what you said but I think it was , if it was carbon there would be bits of broken carbon everywhere 🤣
Yeah fausto coppi team polti pursuit, steel frame but carbon wheels. Carbon takes impact well sometimes.

Looked like he was driving an audi.
this wouldnt have happened with an audi bike coz itd have all wheel drive.
LOL
rear-wheel slipping across did the damage - if it was a German bike it was a BMW!
@@kingprone7846Can you please explain how AWD effects braking performance?
@@Father-klovkoski it doesnt.
my god, he also had that squirrel blender front wheel, no wonder he looked out for the bike as soon as he hit the ground!
Lucky Man!
Imagine if it was the other way, off a mountain.
The fausto coppi bike saved him.. 🙏
If it was going to save him it needed better front brakes... It sent him into the wall.
The bike is the reason he crashed.
@@krazed0451front brakes worked perfectly , he did not crash 'cos of the brakes .
@@GiJoe94 yeah but in a different meaning : the full disc rear wheel is the reason why he crashed, and the bike of excellent quality has nothing to do with, it was the rider's choice moutin' it...
It was the rear wheel’s fault
Wow
Glück im Unglück. ein harter Bursche ist er ohne Frage auch gewesen so schnell wieder auf dem Rad zu sitzen, Respekt.
This isn’t South Africa
He did what I used to do when falling from a push bike.Jumping off and use my shoulders to land.Is painfull and protect one from head aches ..but of course you need to think fast .
why didn't he turn ?
the rear wheel slipped across and meant he was only going into the wall
Wind!! Too much wind for him to lean and correct it.. And too much spped to brake..
If there was no wind..this wouldnt have happened..
RIP - it's sad when they go young like that.
Are you talking about the bike?
All Caused by a little line marking paint. Would have been scary a/f.
If he was using disk brakes he would have died that day
If he was using disk brakes he would have stopped that day.
@@DS-um9hinot at all. And i am havin 3 disc brake bikes and 2 rim brake bikes. Honestly i do not think the difference is as big as people say it is.
@@aoe76 I know that, I was just posting nonsense like the original commenter.
