Yes, if the cyclist had been driving a car in such circumstances there would have been 5 dead and 25 injured. But we would be told the driver wasn't at fault. Like most of the 400 drivers every year that kill a pedestrian. |

Even if there were only one pedestrian there? Well, over time, the ratio is normally something like 200 to 1 but in this case it seems the rider was taking part in a publicly sanctioned race on a route lined with people spectating. So unless people and pedestrians are different things, I think it is fairly safe to assume there was more than one. |

Plenty of cars are driven in bicycle races. Must the driver be a contestant? Besides, that isn't the point as you (should) know perfectly well. |

What would you consider the clause "...taking part in a publicly sanctioned race on a route..." to mean? Supervising the race or taking part in it? |
