Did he stop there on purpose or did his bike conk out? If he stopped there on purpose he's a dick!

Do Audi make motorbikes?

Apparently his m'cycle stalled, it is still a mystery to me why he didn't either restart his engine or at the very least move his m'cycle out of the way.

That's the 'red hook' Criterium. They are on fixies. They have no brakes either.

It looks like he froze as he knew what was about to happen!
Nasty, but no one seems to berate him.

I think it broke down right as the race started. i dont think there was time to move it. Even if they had got it to the side it could possibly still have caused a pile up as that's a narrow part of the course.Question is, do they really need scooters on a crit track? especially in that kind of race

Good job they were wearing helmets

Poor sods. Both motorbike rider and cyclists

The thing that struck me the most when I saw it last week was that the motorbike rider pulled his brakes when he realised he was going to get hit and kept them on. I guess he panicked, but that was the worst thing he could have done.

Or was that an way of getting his brake lights to come on as a bit of a warning.............................Not that it was much of one.

The few bikes that hit the motorbike just seem to explode. It looked like an F1 crash there was so much carbon flying around.

Were the riders ok after that?
