Yeah, dude on the Cal tri team blew out his REAR tire and went down. No one in front of him, and I think he did more or less land face first. A teammate of mine was two wheels behind him and skidded to a stop so as not to run over him. My guy didn't go down, but sucks to have your race basically ended 100 yards from the finish.

REAR TIRE, no one to your left, right or in front. At least they don't allow aerobars in mass start events.......
