It was about 5 miles from the finish line, and it happened because someone felt the need to strip their wind vest while in the middle of the group. It got hung up in the front wheel and the dude went down taking what sounded like 5 or 6 more with him. Kim Kirchen style. No numbers pinned on it is my guess as to why it had to come off that close to the finish. Even if I am completely wrong about the events, no matter.

I have no idea how much they cost, but certainly they are cheeper than any part on your bike that would get destroyed in the crash.
