After a crash early in the season, I ran into someone who was involved several months later. He recognized me and apologized for what may or may not have been his fault to begin with... Who knows what the guy in the vid was thinking, but things definately change in a race setting.Kevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682280761638964467.post-70578688611504837052009-06-25T23:17:32.185-07:002009-06-25T23:17:32.185-07:00I think it's the classic bad bike handling, ti...I think it's the classic bad bike handling, tired rider, loses concentration, swerves and oops... but he does look back, and he must have known he swerved.
