It's a Chevy volt from the looks of things. Lamborghini would never lower themselves to such an ugly standard. At least I hope not.Summernight wrote:

Notice the sherriff getting all matrixy trying to dodge riders.

You're right, it is a Chevrolet Volt (can pick the brand and 'Volt' from the video footage).im_no_pro wrote:It's a Chevy volt from the looks of things. Lamborghini would never lower themselves to such an ugly standard. At least I hope not.Summernight wrote:

Still, I think it looks similar in the back section to the Lamborghinis I've seen out on the road:
But I'm not a car lover - unless it is a fully electric sports car like the Tesla- then we're talking.

Youre eyes are much better than mine then. Even on a 24 inch monitor it still only comes up as a tiny little video for meSummernight wrote:

Edit.... make that computer skills, not eyes. I missed the full screen button

Rider (back marker after camera panned away) hit marshal.... car leading the riders had to take evasive action to miss rider who hit marshal... the vid answers the rest from there!birdbrain wrote:Bit of a mystery. I have no idea why the course official is lying face down on the ground. I imagine the car hit a rider travelling in the same direction. Nice try at a bunny hop by that rider, unfortunately it wasn't entirely effective.

Messy riding, mass disqualifications and fines if this happened in one of the local crits not to mention the pre-race lecture on the following weekend.

I didn't click full screen... It was small sized when I picked it out - as it appears when you first open this thread.im_no_pro wrote:Your eyes are much better than mine then. Even on a 24 inch monitor it still only comes up as a tiny little video for meSummernight wrote:

I thought the person lying on the road was the cyclist but was wondering why he wasn't wearing normal racing attire. If that was the marshal, where is the cyclist who hit the car??? His bike is clearly lying there mangled.

You very briefly see the legs of the rider in front of the car when the camera pans back left.

Watch this version as there is an explanation as to what happened.Gerry.M wrote:It seems in the US, left means right and vice versa, but the riders were not from the US so when the dude in the stripe shirt said go left, they uh, went left.......

Not too impressed with the overall organisation either. Response to the incident, hmmm and there's no way I'd stand in the marshals shoes without a cone 10m each side of me and a loud vest even if I had to provide me own.

That whole situation could have been so much worse. What atrocious course setup.
