Learn from a pro's mistake

At the very beginning of this video of highlights from the Namur world cup, you can see Katie Compton trying to get her chain unlodged from between her frame and crank. On the starting sprint, she shifted from her big ring to small and, in the process, lost her race. It took her about a minute to get started again, but she still ended up third. If it were Andy Schleck, he'd still be standing there.
