Video of the sprint finish from Stage 5 of the Tour de Suisse

[PotomacCyclist]

The video was filmed from cameras mounted on a racer’s bike. I already knew sprint finishes were exciting and dangerous, but I had never seen on-bike footage before. Makes me more certain that I never want to do a sprint bike race. Plus there’s the fact that I’m not super-fast.

But it’s fun to watch from afar.

any big burly ‘murrican football fans who think pro cycling is for nancys needs to watch that. oh – and all that 35+ mph pushing and shoving is going on after they’ve ridden 180km at a full race pace.

I watched some videos of racing wipeouts after I had my crash. I’m not sure it made me feel any better.
