T-Mobile must be cursed. How many of their riders have crashed?burton3eleven said:at least it looked like him
Did you see how easily Burgharts wheel smashed, The old dog got up without a scratch.Bro Deal said:T-Mobile must be cursed. How many of their riders have crashed?
Luckily Burghardt was okay.
That was pretty surprising to me. The wheel just folded and the carbon broke. An alloy rim with more spokes would have tacoed. Maybe he was using an extreme ultra light wheel.The Double Zero said:Did you see how easily Burgharts wheel smashed, The old dog got up without a scratch.

Hey guys watch it again... the dog didn't break the wheel... the inertia of a 85KG rider placing a lateral load on it did. Not too many wheels would go undamaged if you turn them 90 degrees while going forward... save for a 40 spoke 20" freestyle/BMX wheel... that said I think t-Mobile are riding Zipp garbage wheels this year, but in any case, I don't think a 32 spoke Mavic Reflex would have survived that incident without buckling.azdroptop said:That was quite amazing how the wheel buckled like he hit a wall. Doesn't give much confidence in the wheels ability to stay together coming down a desent at 50mph.

The dog could have easily been a stray,Grater said:If it was me I would have probably kicked the dog off the road when I got up and spent about 10 seconds calling the owner every name under the sun.
No, I think it belonged to his twin.Dead Star said:It wasn't one of Tyler's dogs was it?
Possible, but why didnt it disappear before the critical moment?matagi said:No, I think it belonged to his twin.
