I think it's just an experience thing. He gets to see it unfold. Two riders almost come together, opens gap and old mate shoots through, then the two that nearly touched actually come together. Nothing in it as what looks like a push is just that guy protecting his front wheel. Alex has processed it and is already on the brakes and just gets around it. There's actually quite a lot of good reactions with a lot of potential victims missing the carnage.

Great to see some decent coverage of the domestic scene with the angle you bring. Exactly the sort of thing it needs. Would be amazing to see more ex pros coming back to help the UK scene. (btw it's 40 to be a vet - well done Chris MaC). Major kudos to Seb for saving this race.

This is one of my all time favourite videos of yours! Beating Chanel's bike review is a tough act to follow - almost impossible to beat - but your enthusiasm for cycling, support of youngsters, passion - all the good stuff - really came out in this. It was great to see some very, very young men getting awards - well done to all involved, organisers and competitors alike

I will never race again on open roads, it is the same in Denmark where i lived, one race Marshalls didn’t pay attention and a cars crossed the race right in front of us and i hit it at 50kph, luckily no broken bones but seeing a peloton fighting for position with oncoming traffic is crazy to consider safe racing.

The rider that went down first in the crash was knocked down by the rider to his right. It looked intentional as the bike on the right angled towards the first rider and as soon as he hit him he straightened out and continued on his way. Was that looked into?
