Rob Muller- USA Cycling Level 2 Power Based Coach: Crashing...that's bike racing!

Top 10 causes of crashes during races...
(From USA Cycling Coach Rob Muller)

1. Poor bike handling skills- touching a wheel in front of you, swerving-not holding your line, etc.
2. Risky move/behavior- shooting a gap that is too narrow, taking unsafe chances, etc.
3. Fatigue- which leads to poor handling skills, poor judgement, etc.
4. Weather- rain slick roads, high wind, etc.
5. Poor road conditions- potholes, storm grates, road debris, obstacles, narrow roads, etc.
6. Mechanicals- flats, broken/dropped chains, etc.
7. Sudden braking/accelerating- the accordian effect prevalent in the back of the peloton
8. Other- animals, pedestrians, etc. unexpectedly on course
9. Not alert- poor attention, oblivious to road conditions and cycling racing dynamics, etc.
10. Ghost riding the whip. (ok, we added this one)
