frigging hilarious
Lmao sooo funny 😆😂
His seat actually caused him to crash!! Nothing he did caused the crash!! So he was happy getting second so what!!
bummin
yea that is the worst time ever for that to happen. im sad now thanks.
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.
Showboating is not only poor sportsmanship, it can be dangerous as well
Easily the best cycling moment of the season so far
he did the cat 5 salute
Norwegian love tap 😂😂
At least the crash wasn’t really his fault. Had it been it would’ve been even more embarrassing….
Poor guy
Talk about being taken down from your pedestal.
I love how he took it, and hope he wins a stage for real.
I had a teammate that sprinted for the win a lap early. Thought he won but hd a lap to go. Saw him weeping a bit later.
Feel bad for the guy. Celebration was badass too.
that's gotta have hurt his tail bone
Oh no
very cool
SportsCenter Not Top play Butt crashing! Next to NFL mark Sanchez butt fumbled! Who’s your pick?
it would not have happened had his saddle not gave in .. so, what's embarassing?
A bit like Van Vleuten celebrating when she thought she had won against Anna Kiesenhofer!
what glasses are this at 0:33?
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.
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.
Bet the mechanic got a right kicking later that night😂😂😂
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! 😂👍😂👍😂
Honestly this could have been so much worse
Yeah, I HATE when that happens!
😀
Eduard Pradesh.. is now forever a mened buffoon 🤣👍 Thanks for sharing.
