Greg van Avermaet goes head over heels at E3 Harelbeke (video)

published 27 March 2015

Greg van Avermaet's chances of a podium at E3 Harelbeke came to an abrupt end when he went flying over the handlebars and landed hard on his upper back.

The Belgian rider appears to have taken a corner too wide, and upon correction was forced to brake hard to avoid other riders who had bunched up in the bend. As a result the BMC Racing Classics man can be seen flipping all the way over his handlebars.
