I've ridden like a twat with the best of them in my time, but there were plenty of wince inducing moments there. Nobody has to do anything odd or stupid when your speed differential between lines of traffic is that high and the clearance is that small - a 3 inch drift off line by a dozy car driver and you're off.
Granted, but look at the way he navigates the close sections! where its too tight he goes in the other lane! where there is a turn he goes nearside and avoids the turning traffic.
imo the guy is an expert rider and teh vid proves it. I have seen other vids attempted by lesser riders which were nowhere near as smooth or controlled. a near miss could happen at any speed, with similar consequeces should you get knocked off and run over.
