What was the bloke who came across the track and hit a bale doing? Looks like carnage

The rider who went over the bale looks like he headbutted the ground with some power... OUCH! ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Was the corner littered with tacks or oil? Bonkers number of casualties!

Carrying far too much speed into a tight corner up the inside line, and figured going straight on was preferable to binning it?

there was already carnage on & just before the corner. I assume he'd had to go to the inside to aviod the/a crash

Having no brakes probably didn't help either.

I happened to cycle past one of these Red Hook Crits in Greenwich. We stayed around and watched with a few beers. It was very entertaining but looked lethal!
