    1. If you’ve never raced then you don’t know what a win for a second feels like. And it’s who you battled over hours an hours of racing that you’re happy to be ahead of them.

      Yeah he probably didn’t know that somebody was ahead of him.

    2. No doubt the celebration of a second place was his fault, but I don't think it's right to make fun of mechanical misfunctions. Obviously it's way less serious because nobody got hurt, but what if somebody did get hurt? Just saying that it's all fun and games until somebody breaks a collarbone.

    3. Same thing with the saddle happened to me. But in my case the whole post snapped. I was very lucky not to get cut by the remains of it. This is just unforutnate.

    4. Forty years ago the "peloton" was crazy about weight savings and shavings…..a light bike then, was lugged double-butted steel and came in at around 16-17 pounds or so. The sport went through a phase (craze?) of drilling out chainrings and brake calipers, derailleur cages, using hardened lightweight rims, double-butted and thin spokes…..so much.

      Sometimes they got it wrong. One such case was using hollow rails on saddles. They could break….and did. I never had one; could see the risk immediately; understood the saddle as being essential to EVERYTHING about riding my bike, so I rode a "turbo" for a long time and have an old design Selle Italia on all my bikes today…..and no hollow rails! 😂👍😂👍😂
