Taylor(crash) phinney

[usedtobefast]

i had/have high hopes for this kid, but he can't keep his bike from hitting the ground. could be a short career.

Seems to be kind of a ****** bag, and a little full of himself. Karma's a B

Karma? He doesn't appear to have done anything to anyone to deserve crashing all the time, so if you believe in karma you better watch out for being such a meanie head yourself.

I just hope he doesn't let it go to his head like Soler. It's perfectly possible to be successful with subpar handling abilities, although he should still work on it. Being the child of a former pro, I assume he's been riding since a young age, so it's kind of weird and might be just sheer bad luck.

...think it might have more to do with moments (nanoseconds) of inattention rather than lack of handling skills..

Fair enough.

Hes just been unlucky with all the crashes this year, but hes still overrated...

This post is overrated

Phinney would get along great with Mauricio Soler

 

[Jancouver]

No wonder he is crashing ... he is used to riding in circles on a bike that has no brakes ... perhaps he doesnt know how to use those brakes on his road bike

 

[auscyclefan94]

He's been out with injuries, he needs to string a few races together so he can so he can then look to get some results. he'll get there.

some people are just plain poor bike drivers aerobic endurance winning ability is absolutely and utterly unrelated to your balance and general hand eye abilities seen this time and time again.

I suppose all the above posters have never gone into a corner too fast and overshot like Taylor did yesterday. I'm not even a big fan but some of the above is utter ********. Get out on your bikes FFS. **** happens.

One crash: bad luck, once-in-a-lifetime miscalculation, whatever.
Constant crashes: something else might be going on here.

This thread wouldn't have been made if Phinney's crash had been the first one. If memory serves, last year he crashed in Denmark and l'Avenir (serious crashes, too), and this year he's crashed three or four times already. If you think that's normal...

 

[auscyclefan94]

Leigh Howard went over the wall Phinney crashed on.

 

[greenedge]

He's going well, 2nd in prolouge Romandie. Has he crashed again?????

 

[thehog]

This confirms that he's the new TommyD.

Shows what happens when you leave Camp Lance.

 

[Marva32]

I've over cooked a few turns, but none of that compares to the windsprints I used to do in high school basketball, and the time I forgot to stop and ran full speed into the wall.

 

[maltiv]

Is Taylor Phinney the only cyclist ever who gets a new thread every time he crashes?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

boulder men crash

yeah i did
