Reminds me of a Tour stage in the late Armstrong era, on a wet stage into Nancy I think. A break has a small gap going under the kite, then on a 90 right hander with 900 metres to go, the first two riders in the break go down, leaving Bernucci of Fasso Bortolo alone in the lead. Behind the leading riders in the peloton go down too, and as the camera goes to the long shot of Bernucci, you can see Cancellara, who'd gone down in the crash, yelling into his race radio to let his team mate know he had a gap.
Bernucci won the stage by a few seconds.
