[Von Mises]

That guy is having a terrible season so far.

Taaramae wrote in his blog that it happened at the end of the descent. He and another guy(he was not quite sure who it was, speed was so high, that he could not look back) had about 10-20 second gap. Top speed before the curve was 92 km/h. Taaramae began to slow down when a small stone flew through his front wheel. Front tire went flat. Speed at that point was about 70 km. He continued to slow down, but in the corner still flew straight into the abyss. He writes that he remembers that someone flew screaming over his head.
When he got up, he heard a moaning from below. So he went and helped another guy up the road. Later he checked computer, 52,1 km/h was last speed registered.
