That's Cat 4/5 racing, not World Tour.
It's been about 40 years, but I still have faded scars and fresh flashbacks of those days in Cat 4, when sometimes you'd think state fair demolition derby might be a bit saner and safer. It is amazing how UCI World Tour riders are able to handle most anything - but even they are occasionally human.
