Final 200m from Saturday's crit. I'm on the right of the photo (w/black helmet). My friend (#661) was in 3rd postition when the guy up front changed direction. Broken collarbone and scapula 
... my other buddy who was right behind me lost 4 teeth in this mess I went over #697's rear wheel and stayed up for 15th place.
More photos of crash here. The crash is also on youtube and vimeo (search Land Park Criterium)

There was a crash at the end of the San Dimas Cat 4 crit as well... in the rain. Only the 1 guy went down as far as I could tell...

Yeah. I was warming up about 20 feet from that. They brought the ambulance and everything. I was selfishly hoping they would get out of there before my wife and kids showed up. I'm glad it wasn't worse.

Ehhh, things didn't go so well for them this time around. Maybe next time, if their races go better, they'll be able to be more enthusiastic about it.
I like Dixie because the A race tends to bring out some of the Time guys, which means a pretty decent pace and some solid attacks to deal with.

I'm sorry to hear about anybody's friends or teamates in this crash... certainly hope all is well and / or a speedy recovery.
From the looks of this video, whoever was in 2nd place at the time made a quick and (what appears to be) unnecessary move to his left.

Yeah, the guy is a monster. He took 2nd at Bariani the next day.
It's hard not to question why he changed direction like that. That's bike racing I guess. My friends are doing better, one is off the bike for 2 months, the other will be back in the saddle soon, but his teeth will be about a 6-9 month ordeal. Thanks for the good wishes.
