Who's to blame?
OK. Lets say your in an event and you crash into another rider, slower, has mechanical failure or is stuck in a bog hole etc.
Who's fault is it. Theirs for being a unnatural obstacle? Or yours for not being vigilant? |

It's a racing incident. If anyone is hurt, both riders need to have a conversation with each other, if possible. It's okay to feel bad about it (if it's your fault), but if it isn't your fault you need to accept the consequences of being involved in a race event and "stuff happens."

I added a poll to this thread so it will keep a tally...
I voted you are the responsible one if overtaking a stalled/stuck rider. If you are faster you should at least act like the better rider? Right? jeff

Agreed. In the racing world I live in experts dont take out amatuers.The better rider is 100% responsible for taking out a slower, less skilled, tired, injured, frustrated, bent bike ,whatever rider, he sets the tone for a given situation. Also how you pass and the ettiquette you use to pass will go a long ways.Revving the engine, yelling or hounding a rider(usually when they cant get over anyway) is all B.S and will only lead to problems eventually And the truly faster rider will get around him easily. Also dont go all out just to pass a guy or two then drop off the pace and get caught.Make it stick. Slower riders have a right to race also.They should be passed where both riders can maintain as much pace as is feasibly possible. |
