Not sure if the primes thing would make it any safer at those points though...?<br /><br />Yes, I see his name on the list, seems he finished well, not surprising as I think people were scared of being around him, but he shouldn't be where he is in the series or anything else for that matter.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797280797118751526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384016710660480374.post-27419404185167600142012-01-09T14:33:21.408-08:002012-01-09T14:33:21.408-08:00I reckon it would be a good idea for the organiser...I reckon it would be a good idea for the organisers to have one or two primes: either one the 30min mark, or two on the 20min and 40min marks. The big problem with this week's crash was that the majority of the field had enough fresh legs to want to go for the sprint. Stick some primes in with series points on offer for 1,2,3 and there will be genuine breakaway attempts and fast racing throughout the race.<br /><br />Hillingdon seems to be a very difficult course to make a breakaway stick at our level, so the least they could do is make sure that the peloton is strung out at the end due to fatigue, rather than the current situation where everyone is doing anything to get forward and taking stupid risks to do it.<br /><br />ps. The rider who took to the grass to get ahead was just a moron. If there's a next time, I hope no one lets him in - riders like that cause crashes, but they're never the ones who actually go down. It's always a rider on the edge of the wave of movement.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08845604350117786347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-384016710660480374.post-72491664437184066122012-01-09T02:35:50.796-08:002012-01-09T02:35:50.796-08:00Blimey - that's a lot of crashes.

Puts me off heading over there (mind you, I haven't done enough racing at Gravesend to say with any certainty that it's safer).<br /><br />Wonder if there's anything the race organisers can do to improve safety?Stuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04237383348952854971noreply@blogger.com
