So embarrassing! As they say, don't count your chickens before they hatch!
Reminds me of that Olympic women snowboarder that started celebrating too soon and lost.I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

Oh, I don't think that is funny. At all. How horrible that day must be for him. I know how it feels to fail and to fail in front of others is terribly hurtful. Oh, my heart goes out for the poor man - imagine how he felt after working so hard to get where he was. I wouldn't find any humor in it if it were me and I'd sure hope others wouldn't either.

Too funny. If he had just fallen, I wouldn't think it funny. It's that he was prematurely declaring himself the winner, celebrating, and then fell because he was doing so that makes it humorous to me. I s'pose it's a don't count your chickens thing....

ahh the nightmare of racing.
so funny yet soo sad. I'm just baffled how an experienced pro could lose control like that. I assume this was a pro race...
yeah he isn't going to forget the loss for 20 or more years. And he sure wont be able to live it down.
my condolence to the poor rider.
