Looked like a nasty speed wobble to me. I have only experienced it once at about 48 mph going straight on a descent, I was just able to gather it up but needed to change my bibs afterward.


And it's a lot tougher to regain control in TT position.

I've had it happen a couple times before going downhill but never bad enough to scare me thank jehovah. The best thing to do is clamp down on the top tube with your knees if possible.

I always used a Pantani descending position but luckily I wasn't in it that day. It took me over a year before I could bring myself to slide off the back of the saddle again after my wobble. The Pantani is comfortable for me because I have spent so much time descending on hardtail mountain bikes but I still can't do the top tube with my butt against the post.



I can't do a full superman like Michael Guerra though.





But then he can do shite like this:
