We still can't quite believe how Sky's Ben Swift did not come down in this Tour of Britain - but his mightily quick reactions are probably one reason.
Swift's Sky team-mate Geraint Thomas posted this fan-shot video, taken from the roadside during stage six from Bath to Hemel Hempstead, onto his Facebook last night.
Watch out for a Bardiani-CSF rider, who sits in eighth wheel in the peloton, who causes the crash and forces Swift to take evasive action.
