Official Race Photog Moto collided with a Competitor on his bike. Moto driver dead, Racer critical Photog minor injuries

How in the fuck. I was a Cat 2 USAT race official for 6 years and was on the back of a moto for that entire time. It's obvious that the center line was crossed and from the article it would seem that the competitor crossed the line. Either an illegal pass >crossing the centerline, or rider loss of control (medical or inattention). Horrible however it happened

Given the crazy videos out there of heavy objects moving at speed around wobbly bikers, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.

Not good for anyone involved.

all events to enrichen distant promoters enticing other rich white people to give them money for exercise because they're all too fucking lazy to go build trails and think they need tasks to work towards as their soul dies in a cubicle

From the footage that emerged, it was the motorcycle that passed and violated the center line.

fuck that , what an idiot, got himself killed trying to race ahead to get the camera guy a better shot.

There was a fair bit of cha about if the bike course was OK to use. Not only because of accidents, but also fairness regarding the no draft rule.

Racing is stupid.

 

[I Are Baboon]

In all of the events I've done, I've never seen a photographer on a motorcycle. Weird. They are usually camped out on the side of the road.

Racing is stupid.

Your face is stupid.

IAB Tri is big in Europe and get covered like Pro Cycling does and Mdot is all about money. TV money. So yeah the Euro championships would be heavily covered there. Here in the States you would barely even know that the Hawaii Ironman was shown on an obscure cable channel.

I loved the Color Runs, they sorta seemed like they'd be a fund raiser, and they were, but only really for the people that put them on.
Hey white person, wanna pay to inhale rainbows? Fuck yeah!
