Looks like the guy in blue decided to move from the right side of the picture (left side of the course) into the middle and ran into the guy that ended up molesting him.
I guess if the guy in front cuts you off use him as a skid plate, or something to hang onto. Why not? It looks like the front guy came way over in front of the other guy, just as the guy in back was accelerating out of the turn. He knew he was there, he looks at him in the first photo. I would have no second thoughts on using him to save myself. It looks like he cut him off deliberately. I would probably try to kill the guy in front.
The hugger looks tall but still...risking my junk being grinded off from that guys back wheel is not worth it. If he would of slipped...I could see the medic picking it out of the rear break...
Ugly (the tall molester) got his front wheel clipped in the sprint and tried to stay upright with the bear hug. He managed but they were still going sprint speeds and as soon as he could, he let go and ran - in cleats - to come to a stop. No lost skin.
Here's the photo comment from the 'molester' himself...

Meanwhile, Wilson, began to overtake Burrows narrowly on the right, and Burrows quickly swerved away and left, directly in front of me. I saw his rear wheel suddenly come into my line, but it was too late and I immediately hit him and was literally on his saddle. The photos show the rest. His coolness and ability to maintain control saved us both a ton of skin.
I obviously need to work on sprinting with my head up a bit more, but I'm not even convinced that it would of prevented a collision in this case.
We were sprinting for the same reason that we (hopefully) all race - for fun, and this was definitely fun.
Ps. Burrows has HOT abs
Edit: DrWJODonnell beat me to it. Looks like he read the photo comments too. =)
Oh, and I WTB a closeup of the lady on the right of this photo heehee...
