I didn't see this crash, but with the earlier one, I'd fault the rider. Dog and rider were both moving slowly, visibility was good, rider had plenty of space and time to react. No, it's not good to have dogs wandering about, but people need to be paying attention to what's going on. There are all kinds of hazards on the roads.
Are you frekin kidding me dude. Your saying this is the riders fault he got hit? I watched the video and he had barely any time to move out of the way. They seemed to be going 25+ mph when he got hit. Can you avoid something that quickly? It's the owners fault.
Might not hurt to read the first 2/3 of a sentence before responding.....
In this case, it didn't look like he had much chance to avoid the dog (unlike in the first crash). I still say that this is not a dog owner issue, but rather an idiot human issue. All kinds of morons cause racers to crash. Some of these people just happen to own dogs.
