This is insane...

This is insane…

We’ve seen some pretty bad cycling crashes down through the years but this one from the recent Tour of Britain is up there with the worst of them.

On the penultimate day of the race, Bissell Trek rider Tao Geoghegan Hart found himself in good position in a group with some of the race favourites. The talented teenager made an aggressive move and took fourth position as he was closing in on the last corner but what happened next was just crazy.

Geoghegan Hart totally misjudged a tight left hand turn and paid the price by flying off his bike and into the metal barriers. There’s three angles of the crash here…

Scary stuff but unbelievably Geoghegan Hart got back on his bike, finished the race and was at the start line the following day. What an incredibly tough guy.
