The Australian criterium national championships ended with a strong victory from Caleb Ewan, however that was not without it's controversy. There was a high-speed crash close to the finish line, and spectator footage shows the sprinter may have been to blame.
With no barriers on course, a rider lost control of his bike on the road, riding into the sidewalk and hitting a spectator at speed. Another fan managed to record the incident just meters away, in what is terrifying footage. A video recorded by a second spectator however shows that although Ewan did shoulder the rider who crashed, it appeared as he himself had an accidental touch of wheels which caused the moving reaction.
The videos can be seen down below:
