What happened to cause him to go down? I heard like a scrape before he went down. Someone bump him?

alex.s · May 8th, 2013, 10:42 AM

these guys need to practice starts more. also i love seeing corner workers running toward crashed bikes... something about it just makes me smile.

You guys have some sharp eyes !!!

I still couldn't figure out what happened.

That guy with the Elias helmet had plenty of track. He didn't have to "try" to apex. He could have taken a wide line and still get a good drive out.

Here is what the victim had to say:

"My thought is that he either didn't see me, or knowing his outlook on things didn't want to give up the position.

All in all I should've just waited and passed him later....."

I know what the guy is saying but it goes both ways. IDK, maybe it's just me being considerate towards other racers and not wanting to crash.
