Racing and crashes go together - i know this. But is just seemed a ridiculous crash.
i think there is more 'dodgy' riding than there has been previously in the B's. People taking unnecessary risks, surging pace, not looking past wheel in front and not holding their lines is becoming more common. Maybe it is just more obvious due to bigger bunch.
I remember politely asking a guy why he almost took me off the track on a saturday morning training session, when he just switched line without looking, and he just yelled at me :-)
i am all for doing anything we can to reduce risks, its super crappy to crash especially in low key fun races.
