The funniest pro crash is still this one:

I love how they start falling progressively farther out from the
line.

I shouldn't post this, but it's too hard to resist...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP2Srxnc1pI

What the hell happened there? Looks like he hit something with his
rear wheel. Weird.

If you step through it slowly you can see him clip a pedal.

I love that vid. I really love it when the girl in black who crashed
finally gets going, and proceeds to veer straight across the road, in
front of oncoming riders, then veer back, all without looking. I also
like the girl with the dangling yellow shoe, wish they'd tracked her,
I wanted to see what happened when it got caught in her rear wheel.

If you look very carefully, the shoe is visible on the ground at the
end of the clip. The rider is nowhere to be seen: she has apparently
ridden off with only one shoe.

Cinderella does triathlons. What about the 7 dwarfs ?

Duh, how obvious. Pretty clear I haven't been racing in a while.

I just looked (it was even in the comments), yes, he hit a pedal, but
it looks like he cut the corner very tight, and I think his pedal hit
the concrete where the sidewalk tapers down to the corner. It explains
why he had such a hard pedal hit.

Regardless, quite the CF after he splattered.

Best female triathlete on the planet wasn't into sports until her 20s,
had a creepy relationship with her sex-offender first coach, and can't
really ride a bike. I'm not making any of that up.

FWIW, when I was reading about how she wins by 30 minutes, how her
times are better than many of the men pros, how quickly she came to
the top level, how she has a really creepy coach, I realized I'd heard
this story before - Genevieve Jeanson.
