    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!

    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.

      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.
