I bet that helmet is really cool on hot days.

That helmet seems cool on any day.

You can almost see the F bomb hanging in the air.

I think if they had got the shot just a few seconds later it would be there for sure. The ones in back seem to realize very little of what's going on, but the dudes up front are definitely thinking it.

His rim totally collapsed? Never seen that before.

Some wheel maker is going to get it.

Video of the crash.

Don't want to start the helmet debate again, but I think Haussler was spared a serious injury by his. Look at 1:00 into this clip for what I mean.

Nothing like watching skinny guys fall in slomo. Not to start a debate or nothing, but...

Also, it's cool to see in the video how Cav's front wheel springs back from the way it is captured in the photograph. Wonder if it would have still be rideable after that.
