Oh no, that is absolutely terrible. RIP.

Awful. Thoughts are with the families. X

shocking news, RIP riders :(

So scary. RIP riders. Thoughts with family and friends.

Terrible tragedy. RIP.

Rip

RIP, one person's moment of idiocy snuffs out two lives and bereaves many others, absolutely sickening

I think that phrase "concern for welfare" is when there's a domestic situation and one party drives away. Godawful anyway, RIP.

tragedy. RIP fellow riders.

urgh. tragic. should be a debate on police pursuits after this. rip.

Shocking and terrible news. My thoughts are with the families and friends.

Tragic news! My thoughts are with their families

Don't think I'd have cut the guy trapped in the car free after killing two people through reckless driving.

and another man Chris, father-of-five

Shocking. Thoughts are with those left behind.

Cycled this area regularly.
Its a fairly wide open modern road not normally dangerous by any measure.
RIP

Feel sick reading about this,

What noiser said; police chases should happen only in very exceptional circumstances.

:(

rip

I have found out that both cyclists were friends of friends. The feelings of grief are spreading like ripples through the local cycling community as people realise who they were. Both young dads, and known and loved by an awful lot of people.

Rest in peace riders :-(

An awful tale. Truly one of those "there but for the grace of" situations. I'm sure nothing they could have done to avoid the incident.

Heartfelt sympathies to their relatives and friends. I can't imagine what their wives and children will have to deal with now.

Rest in peace.

Truly dreadful. :(
