I agree. The level of cycling knowledge that judges and coroners have is so poor that Jesse / his lawyers must have felt the risk of an adverse finding was significant.
Reading his message, what he is doing is backing off all organisational support, like the event tracking system, the media cars, any further refinement of the route.
It would be incredibly harsh if Jesse ended up being blamed because a motorist hit a guy on a bike on a straight clear road with no other traffic present.
