Watch Gerben Löwik’s nasty crash below, courtesy of cycling.tv. The Dutchman’s brake cable snapped during Stage 5 of the Tour de Suisse.
I can’t think of another time when a cable snappped, it’s a rare thing. It’s a grizzly crash, we can only watch the rider knowing he cannot stop.
Löwik had to leave the race but his injuries are not serious and luckily no spectators were harmed. Get well soon Gerben.
