After finishing waaay behind the main 55+/60+ field, I saw Racer Ex and AzTR in the 45+ staging area. I decided to hang around to see how they were doing at the end of their first, 14-mile lap. Unfortunately neither were to be seen. The 1/23 women went by and then shortly a support van pulled up and AzTR stepped out. From the front he looked OK, but medical staff were talking to him. Then I saw someone holding his broken helmet.

Ex rolled up a bit later as he had dropped out of the race and gone back after realizing his charge had gone down in the crash.

Fortunately, AzTR is mostly just scraped and bruised. The bike...well it's only money.
