I think I might have seen that while I was warming up in parking lot. Was it right before going into corner 1? I couldn't believe it! I just noticed some guy slow to a crawl right in the middle of the pack. The unsuspecting riders coming up on him were having to make sudden moves to avoid him.

If you're going to blow up or have some mechanical issue, for Gods sake, pull yourself to the side of the pack and get the hell out of the way. It seems like common sense to me when you're in a group going 20+. Good for the mentors to school the guy.
