Laurent Jalabert
Cyclingnews.com has posted a video of some of the worst recent Tour de France crashes. To lead things off is the Laurent Jalabert crash in Armentieres at the 1994 Tour, which left a policeman with a broken leg. Also starring Bobby Julich, Dave Zabriskie, Christian VandeVelde, and much more. Enjoy….

I finally watched that video. It was even more painful than I expected. Fast, technical descents are among my favorite parts of any race. Not because things frequently go wrong but because they do not. It is amazing how many of these highly skilled and trained athletes lose their bikes for little or no apparent reason. Levi in the final stage of this year’s Tour de Suisse is the most recent example I can think of. There was nothing obviously different about that stretch of we road than any other part he had traversed in that attack. He just pushed the envelope a bit too much.

Thank you for sharing that, Brett.
