Unless you race a lot, how can you say that more crashes happen in races?
That being said, even if the percentage is higher, how can you attribute that to the fact that it is a race as opposed to simply a large group of people riding together? It just so happens that most races are far larger groups than most training rides. More riders = more crashes.
