I was following him for what seems minutes. I didn't know what to do until
I saw that he had control of his bike. I then went slightly right and went
on by even telling him in small words, "thanks". It was like slow motion
watching pieces fall off his beloved bike. Then the wheel just came undone
and then a shotgun sound of the tubular going. Man, if everyone could
handle a bike that smooth.

That was Anthony Graupera of Guinness, I didn't see the incident, but did
see the aftermath of the damage to the bike, taco'd wheel, ground down crank
arm (almost flat to pedal spindle) and bottom of pedal ground down the same.
I was amazed that he stayed up right when I talk to him about it. Good Job
Anthony!

Bravo to whoever it was that tacod their rear wheel on lap 2 of yesterday's cat 3 race. (Pothole?) When I heard the sound of cracking wheels I thought for sure a pile up was about to occur. I looked left and saw you skidding to a halt, one foot unclipped, but with your bike upright. That was most impressive! Great job bringing your steed to a safe landing.
