Motorbike running into a spectator even at relatively slow speeds could do some serious damage, sure the organisers would want to avoid that...also natural reaction for a rider to stop if human in front regardless of racers behind

Of course. This isn't an open road though. The road is closed for a race with motos flying up ahead to remind anyone. After that if you step out into race traffic it's (literally) on your head.

I wonder if someone fell into the road?

Sad times.

Whilst I understand the view that audience needs to take responsibility for their action, organisers don't want to have to deal with the shit show that would follow crowd member getting carted off in an ambulance after being hit by a moto.

Also motos are probably being extra wary at the moment given the seasons events...only problem is its again hurt a rider rather than the crowd
