Video: Cyclist Chad Haga crashes off start ramp

  • 27/04/2016

Chad Haga made an embarrassing start to the UCI Tour de Romandie in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.

It was chilly and wet - and it was all too much for Chad Haga, who wrongly thought snow might be the biggest obstacle for him to overcome.

The American made the most dramatic of entrances as he rolled down the ramp and off his bike into the barriers around the track.

Haga saw the funny side to the crash, tweeting his thoughts on his unconventionalstart.

It wasn't what the 27-year-old needed - especially after his recent recovery from a horror training accident in January.

Haga required 96 stitches after crashing into a car and a group of teammates.
