The marshal infront of me swerved out and I swerved out into traffic and slowed down. We were coming over the apex of the bridge so it was quite dangerous to be in that spot since the descent was fairly even and curved so we'd be on the blind side of the drivers.

The bridge in BK was just wet, I slid out cuz others braked so my choice was to run them over or brake and swerve, choose the brake and swerve and my whole back end went out. Next time I'll proceed into that bridge with caution, it's a bad setup since there is cobble stones both at the entrance and exit of that bridge with a nice climb coming out so keeping speed would be the ideal thing to do.
Yes, I believe that is where I recall hearing about problems....you must have left real early? I think it was sunnier later and it dried things out pretty well by the time I got there (I had to stop and help with lots of flats, etc. so it took me forever)
