We don’t think we’ve ever seen anything like the crashfest we saw Fiuggi World Cup yesterday, at least not at the sport’s highest level.
Cycling Games put together the above compilation video of many of the crashes seen in the women’s and men’s UCI Cyclocross World Cup races yesterday in Fiuggi.
While crashes aren’t a laughing matter, especially when someone gets hurt, in its entirety, the countless and repeated crashes highlight how exceedingly challenging the Fiuggi conditions were on Sunday. For most, it was not a matter of avoiding crashing, but trying to avoid injury and other down riders.
