For example, once I turned acutely and fast enough that my show scraped the pavement (must have been pedaling through that one). One junior racer in the A crit last night had a pedal strike and dumped it on the concrete. I try to look at the apex of the turn.
btw, here's a crash in a turn that happened during the race. The video is from my teammate.
