NV Stage 1
We did a 60 minute crit with a fair bit of bang bang tonight. That’s is there were a fair amount of guys going bang bang on the ground. I was going ok and was good most the night until about 7 to go when someone fell off in the downhill right hand turn. I went messenger style and hop the curb, dodged some spectators ziz-zagged around a hay bale and hoped back on the course about 10 guys back from where I was. I was still feeling ok about my chances in the kick and planned to hop up to Jackson. The next time around as I stepped off the wheel to move up the pushed about 30 guys in that stopped from the crash so then I was 50 back and my race was done so I followed the wheel in front of me to the line.

So did they have an actual official - one who knows the rules - in the pit? Those guys should have gotten back in at the back, especially so close to the finish. “(c) A rider who is granted a free lap must return to the race in the position held at the time of the mishap. A rider who was in a group shall return at the rear of the same group the next time around.”

I think there were more guys than they could handle. When 30 guys are there and they all just go there isn’t much the zebra can do about it.
