One of Chris’ most impressing properties is his ability to improvise, he is not clinging to anything. If things are not working as planned, he can change his approach of tackling a problem at any time, in a way that the problem dissolves. He always discerns the solutions.The incident shown in this video clip that was accidentally shot in Kitzbuehel could have happened anywhere, and had already happened to Chris so many times at so many places while touring the globe.
As he did not finish the Kitzbuehel race due to exertion after Challenge Cairns and the New York book promotion tour, his shoes anyway have been left behind in transition not being put to test a second time.
