Woo hoo! Let's just hope you don't need a 0.00001s response time, like Brooklyn!!

Don't know if anyone is in town for the New York race, but I live in Red Hook so let me know if you want to get drinks, I'll be around tonight

Holy fuck, hope everyone was OK after this

There have been too many crashes in cycling caused by motor bikes.

Why aren't the riders at the front at least signalling to the rest of the bunch? Probably wouldn't have made much difference, but you never know.

Did the moto have to pull-up right on the line?

engine stalled

What the fuck were the marshals up to? Sitting with thumbs up arses by the looks of it.

Looks like they were AFTER the corner on the left. You can see someone waving a small yellow flag.

They should of had marshalls before or on the corner like in Motorsport.

I think the clutch went.

Still, could have coasted to a stop anywhere else?

Horrible crash. Reminds me of that one in chile during the SA games

the crash was at the start!

I'm just surprised the guy on the motorbike doesn't have a radio to the organisers so he could tell them not to start the race.

Crash is right at the start pretty much ...

Bad shit

Errr

It's just that in a road race the leaders signal hazards, and you pass it back down the bunch, like in normal group riding. No-one seems to be doing that here, and it might at least have got a few more riders past safely?

Admittedly none of the motos have stalled in the middle of the road in any of the races I've done, but you'd get a lot of nasty crashes caused by parked cars and street furniture if the bunch didn't communicate.

Fuck.
@pleaderwilliams, whilst you're right, looking at the overhead footage of the bunch, there is no time to signal anything and nowhere go.

Hope the 4(?) riders taken to hospital are OK.
