I'm not divulging any winners from yesterday's races but I had to post this crash. I never saw this happen before.

What wheel company was that? Not buying THOSE evah!!!

Makes me think something did not get buttoned up properly in the pit.

maybe it got buttoned up too tight.

look at footage 53-55 seconds. you see the wheel roll but there is not center mass/hub. Looks as though the body is still on the bike.

I'm with you Eric! Does anyone know what wheelset he was using??

I'm sitting there watching the race yesterday and couldn't believe my eyes. The best part was they only showed it happen once and never replayed it afterwards. It was pretty crappy race coverage for some reason at this particular race. They actually had Melandri in frame in his battle for the lead, and then jumped immediately to the turn to show the wheel come flying off, and then jumped right back to the leaders! My head was spinning! Haha. Thats why I had to search for the clip this morning at work.
