Having watched that video about 10009334 times now, I just realized something: Watch the riders in back bunny hopping the downed bike. I know it's hard to take your eyes off the "main action", but there's some really good riding going on back there to keep things from getting worse.

And James: Glad to be of service.

Somebody help me out ...
Humboldt Park - Cat. 4/5
Looking through the pix, an Endeavor rider (not Trevor, I should know who it is, but can't think right now) solo's to the win, pumps hand in air - but later a Wheaton rider wins the pack sprint and pumps his arms. Also the order of riders crossing the line doesn't match the official results ... were there lapped riders in that sprint? Worse yet, the Endeavor rider is on the top step of the podium, but not listed in the results !
I'm confused - oh well, after all ... it's only cat. 4/5.
