Not the collisions I've seen. Slow moving bikers with little experience are most likely to collide with foot traffic and other bikes. Most (not all) fast moving bikers are experienced and know how to brake and maneuver around issues. An experienced rider can stop a road bike in a very short distance, when needed.

That being said, the MUP is no place for TT training.
