    I’ve had some crashes over the last 40 years, never when I was flying balls out at speeds for which I should’ve been jailed, but always at tricycle speeds just enough to break some bones and make life miserable. Now almost age 53 I just stare at my bike all shiny in the garage, and this only helped reinforce my current situation.
    Glad this guy is ok.

    • @SmeurkeDeKat
      @SmeurkeDeKat 2 года назад

      Throwing red flags is not up to the marshals to decide. They relay the severity of the incident to race control via radio. Then race control will order the red flag, so every marshals' post shows the red flag at the same time.
      "Rogue" red flags have killed riders in the past.
