There are 2 riders involved in the crash in Albulapass in Tour de Suisse. Sadly, Gino passed on while Magnus survived with head concussion. The descent was towards the finish line, and both crashed into a ravine. Finish line for a bike race has always been messy. Crash will always be inevitable especially in the era of disc brake.

With rim brake, cannot go down hill beyond 60km/h. High chance of heat (generating from braking) causing carbon wheel disintegrating. With disc brake, the brake is more effective and heat is contained in the rotor. With bigger brake force, cyclists tend to take bigger. This is especially so towards last 20 - 30km. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
