I'm sorry, this is just not how the English language works. You can say it was unfortunate if you mean regrettable, but that was never what you meant as you've been talking about luck. There was nothing unlucky about the mistake.
You can say he made an unfortunate mistake! Regret is a feeling, after the fact.

You need to learn the difference.

You've been using unfortunate and unlucky interchangeably, though, which is my point. You can't actually think there was anything unlucky about it. Regrettable, sure, but you've only used that word since I told you that's what it meant.

I think you can say “unfortunate” or “unlucky” in the sense that other riders have made similar handling errors at similar stage in races, and managed to keep it upright and wobble through.
