Good one. Poor guy, such a huge talent.Libertine Seguros said:Kai Reus.
End of thread.
Kwiatowski from Pais Vasco to throughout the ArdennesAnderis said:If finishing 2nd is considered unlucky, then Rohan Dennis should be considered unlucky, since he finished time trials on 2nd position 7 times since early 2013, but won none of them.
But I don't think finishing 2nd is unlucky enough to put you in contention to be the most unlucky rider in the peloton. I would certainly prefer to finish 2nd than to DNF if I was a professional cyclist.
Yeah, but, with respect to soler, that was one bad moment and he's not a current riderArredondo said:I know he's already retired, but the most unlucky rider by far is Mauricio Soler. It already depresses me when i think about him and all his bad luck![]()
Like i say, i know he not belong in this thread.Ruby United said:Yeah, but, with respect to soler, that was one bad moment and he's not a current rider
Did something happened to him there? Like a serious injury or so?Pippo_San said:I'm going with Heinrich Haussler. Always (dunno why) had a soft spot for him, and I always felt like he could've accomplished many great things if not for that horrible crash at the Tour de Suisse 2010 caused by Cav.

He was one of my favs back in the day, but now he is completely gone.![]()

Also, the 2 photos seem to be contradictory.
The first shows Cav closer to the ground than the 2nd. Also, the polka dot jersey appears to be even with Cav in the 1st photo and behind him in the 2nd photo with no hand on the brakes in either. Nevertheless, Cav's wheel is bent in the 2nd one but not the first.
Yeah they're not in order, the first comes "after" the second.ther00kie16 said:Curious as well.

Think you're referring to Kristof Goddaert who died on Feb 18. this year.Afrank said:Haussler's a good pick for unluckiest. In edition to crashes he's also lost a very good friend of his (another cyclist, can't remember the name) last year I think.
I've always liked him, would really like to see him get some good results and have better luck.
Yes, I realized the first comes after the second but seeing as how Cav's closer to the ground and Haussler is closer to him. However, what threw me was the wheel bending and then straightening out immediately. Also, I'm surprised cyclists don't break their hands more often seeing as how Cav's hand is smashing into the ground in that crash at probably 35mph.Pippo_San said:Yeah they're not in order, the first comes "after" the second.
Anyway really, after that crash poor Haussler was never ever the same again.
Look at the video Afrank posted, he was giving 2010 Cav a run for his money.
I guess something clicked inside his head. A pity tho.

The focus of a nation all on him.
And then along comes Chris...and Michelle.
What are the chances?
I would say not. Too often, I think, for to be a coincidence.senatorrick said:Geraint Thomas looked very strong and very capable of winning something this spring? Just can't stay on his bike! Luck or not??
That's true, he's been crashing for years lol! And as for Purito he's far from unlucky I'd be very satisfied with his palmeres,Pack Fodder said:I would say not. Too often, I think, for to be a coincidence.
Dan Martin would appear a rather unlucky racer.
Yes, that was the one. Thanks RHD.RedheadDane said:Think you're referring to Kristof Goddaert who died on Feb 18. this year.
