Australian triathlete Courtney Atkinson has been stirring up the blogosphere with his bike-cam.

Atkinson recorded this clip during the inaugural ITU World Championship Series race, in Sydney. Watch closely and you just might catch eventual winner Javier Gomez of Spain crashing on his bike.

After the crash, Gomez would bike the final 10K of the 40K leg by himself and then outrun Jonathan Brownlee of Great Britain and Sven Riederer of Switzerland for the win.

Atkinson finished 13th after serving a 15-second penalty near the end of the race.
