In two races, people crashed on the straight section following turn 1. How anyone crashes on a straightaway is beyond me.
I saw a very near wipe out on a straight (after a climb and our turn 1) in a crit today. The guy was drinking with no hand on the brakes and nearly rear-end the riders in front of him and then goes all weavy while he is on top of them. I don't know how he pulled it out, I'm just happy he did because I was 2 riders back. He then dropped his bottle which got bounced around when we passed for the next two laps.
