Video: Pro cyclist BUNNY-HOPS crashed riders

Androni-Giocattoli's Andrea Palini shows off some impressive bike handling skills...

An Italian pro cyclist showed off some top-notch bike-handling skills at the Tour of Slovenia on Friday when he bunny-hopped over riders who had crashed in the wet on the final bend in the country's capital, Ljubljana.

 Androni Giocattoli's Andrea Palini seemed almost certain to be among the riders hitting the deck in the incident on Friday's Stage 2, until he pulled off the spectacular evasive manouevre.

What's more, he still managed to finish sixth on the stage, which was won by  Luka Mezgec of Orica-Scott.

Luka was lucky not to crash himself looking behind him like that in the midle of a sprint!
