44 Comments

1. 2 made a perfect strike. He rolled like a bowling ball.

2. 4:10 is really terrifying he hit his head really hard, im assuming his speed when he crashed was 60kph

3. I think underestimate how dangerous road cycling is. One fallen rider can cause a dozen fallers with bad injuries.

4. Not even close. You missed GThomas hitting a telephone pole with his head and Fabien cart wheeling into an other telephone pole.

5. WTF is that officer doing standing on the Track?😂😂 he got fuckin BODIED

6. Number 8 – the dude literally just fell off his bike and wiped out a quarter of the field lmao

7. WHO WOULD CHOSE TO DO THIS

8. Karma for all the red lights run

9. I have a vlog too

10. One of the funniest videos I have ever seen. I was literally bent over howling with laughter with tears streaming down my cheeks. I had to watch it twice to get it all.

11. Scary? These are hilarious

12. Domino effect in packs

13. Crasher are moster of cycling

14. People don't understand how violent cycling can get …there is no mercy..nobody is your friend when you race like this..not even the road

15. I was wondering why this didn't include Matt Brammeier trying to phase through a Porshe support, when I realized this is only TdF. Still though, that was one of the worst things I've ever seen in cycling.

16. Professional athletes.. Hitting fixed objects.. Pathetic!

17. cyklobuzny

18. lol

19. ALLEZ OPI OMI

20. God i can feel their thin jerseys destroyed and live soon to die skin cells rub against the tarmac and exposes the inner layers of the skin and the rider experiencing excruciating pain

21. That sums up entirely why I use flats and kneepads

22. I crashed today at 25mph ouch

23. Mexican Illegal Border Crossing**

24. 03:11 "How on earth did that happen?" Ehhhhh you have to fucking look where you are going. Rider was pushing so hard with his face to the floor.

25. To me it was worth listening to just to hear Paul Sherwin's voice again. These were bad crashes, but I am surprised the crash when a media car took out the leaders and they hit a barbed wire fence was not included.

26. lying in bed for 6 days now, post bike crash. mild compared to these, but still debilitatingly painful.
    first three nights, no sleep due to pain.
    I query whether it is getting too dangerous to ride.
    A fool on a mtb was exiting the local crit track when I was entering. He veered across and tangled bars with me….both down hard.
    He didn't apologize. Such a scum low life.

27. Why does everyone say 'Paris, France' as you'd expect to hear it, but, in reference to this race, the same people say, 'Tour de Frawnce?'

    It always bugged me for some reason… meh…..

28. Serves them right

29. the 2017 stage 4 crash with Cavendish was Sagans fault and Sagan got kicked out of the TDF for that. Cavendish was VERY mad at Sagan for a long time after that. In fact even tho Sagan apologized Cav never wanted anything to do with Sagan ever again. I used to go to the Tour of California every year cuz i live in California and ine year i was staying at the same hotel as Cav and Sagan. The team had to make sure they didn't bump into each other in the elevators or the lobby. It was major tension but I got several pics with Sagan and his autograph and several pics with Cav along with 5 autographs. Lots of people don't like Cav cuz if his attitude on the bike but he is great to his fans. I'm a huge Cav fan for many years and I saw him EVERY year at Tour of California and he always remembered me and always took several pics with me and akways signed several pieces of memorabilia for me. I've got 14 pics with him and I and 9 signed pieces of memorabilia!!! They are my prized possessions!! Sagan is also a nice guy. Very quiet tho. It was awesome to stay at same hotel with them both cuz NOBODY was around and I got VIP access to both of them and they were both very kind. That is a day I'll never forget!!!

30. Bloody bikes are friggin menace on the road anyway

31. 🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚴🚲🚲🚲

32. now imagine these crashes minus the helmets…

33. Casartelis Crash going down the Col du Portet Aspet which killed him.

34. you can now add cardboard woman

35. ATTENTION PHILIPPE LE PARAPET

36. Money needs to be spent carefully, for me I choose
    investing my money properly rather than spending like a fool.

37. This was hilarious

38. The best on the Tour de france are the crashes 😀

39. Like that..😂😂😂

40. The accident @ 3:01 the police man as taking a picture at the time. He was focusing and the rider caught up with him. The policeman should have been fired.

41. Some of it, is really ridiculous.. 3:01
    They are heading straight into the fence.
    How can the policeman expect that?

42. No.1 on any veteran viewer's list:
    The Belloki crash! It was absolutely brutal.. was slammed into the pavement by speed and centrifugal force. The only one to outrun Armstrong, he never came back. Broken hip for god sake. That or the Fabio Casartelli death.. the very light red blood flowing down the road, live on tv. Remember your helmet people….
    Voigt was also extremely bad, since they were going so mindblowingly fast

43. REST IN PIECES.

44. 8 reasons why I will NEVER do this
