U.S, athlete Eric Lagerstrom (www.ericlagerstrom.com) is a regular on the World Triathlon Series circuit and has also been producing several very cool triathlon videos that you may have seen around on social media. If not, take a browse around his website.

Racing in the World Triathlon Series Montreal yesterday, Eric had a cycle-mounted camera during the race, and the result was this amazing piece of footage. Eric is just yards behind his countryman Eli Hemming, when this happened…

Literally 10 seconds from catching the main pack. Snapped chain for Eli, derailleur bent into the spokes for me. #wtsmontreal #gameover pic.twitter.com/WVHlLj7t0C
