Madison-Genesis rider Alex Peters took a tumble during the time trial stage of the 2014 Tour of Britain on Sunday morning. Unfortunately for Peters, he did it right in front of Cycling Weekly photographer Andy Jones.

According to Jones, Peters was down on his tri-bars and didn't brake coming around the final bend near the Houses of Parliament. He subsequently went full-on into the metal barriers, folding his front wheel. A spectator helped him to untangle the bike from a banner.
