Whatever the course, the riders will push it to the point that a few come off. But in my mind the course shouldnt be upping the stakes to that extent.
My recent crash started much the same. Enter bend, tyres skid out on something (gravel in my case), totally lose line, try to prevent over shooting bend, stack it. I actually went over on my right, while going around a left hand bend. I remember a split second where I'd striaghtened my bike, only to realise it was facing the barrier, and thinking. Fuck! I should have just gone Down With the original Wash out.
At least I think it was similar. I dont really fancy watching it again to check.
