Crash Conti (Giro 2017, stage 8)

Ouch, what a nasty crash for Conti. http://nos.nl/video/2172986-izagirre-wint-achtste-etappe-giro-na-zinderende-finale.html

If we look at it from a (steering) technical point, it went wrong when he (already pedalling again) pushes down his pedal at the inside of the corner.
Probably just that bit too much pressure on the inside pedal instead of the outside pedal and so not enough pressure against slipping away. In addition, commentator Flecha suggested that the asphalt was dirty. And you can see two black stripes on the road. Oil, damaged asphalt??

Probably it would have been better to start pedalling again later in the curve and to cross that black part in a more straight line (like wet white lines, tramrails, etc.), to cut the bend into parts.
It looks very like Pinot’s crash in the Tour de France of 2016.
