We had a guy on our team snap the down tube, top tube and rear stays in this on his Lapierre...damn.
Wow ****, looks like a bunch of people misread the exit line/speed there... that's awful. Everyone OK I take it by the aftermath... (bar the bikes)
What happens in this instance? Are Cat 1/2 riders typically insured/sponsored or is this $x of their pride and joy just smashed away in a single wreck? How does that work in accidents re: equipment?
