Rumored Cause of RtR Fatality

Edited to say I have not seen this confirmed.


Word is the cause of the crash that killed the 67 year old cyclist while descending into Minturn was his riding jacket got into his rear spokes. He had it wrapped around his waist and it came loose. The jacket locked up his rear wheel and he was thrown off the bike and sustained a head injury.

I have not seen this confirmed as the cause.
