This is kind of nuts. Julian Alaphilippe won the white jersey for Stages 2 through 6 of the 2016 Tour de France. However, during Stage 13, a strong gust of wind picked him and his bike up and threw them into the side of a mountain. He did get back up and finished the stage, only suffered some minor scrapes and bruises, but wow...

He's ok though...

Damn. But would a disc wheel really provide enough resistance to cause that?
