heard that Bgrader went onto the wrong side of the road and collected
a car, going slowly luckily, he ended up with a bad cut on his face
apparently but otherwise OK

3km of dirt road is pretty rough (no pun intended!)

C-grader AFAIK. I'd name names but I wont..
From what I heard, it was his own fault and I
don't have a lot of sympathy given that he taints
the race for everyone by riding on the wrong
side of the road - even after being told not to.
It's not a closed course - there are cars using
the roads normally (except for a few closures
at tricky intersections and the finish line, etc).
They mention it at every race and still people
do it. The rider was okay - well enough, in
fact, to jump up and abuse the innocent driver.
Cut to the face and he walked himself to the
ambo and was taken to hospital. Car was towed
due to smashed windscreen. Bike status currently
unknown.

These are not facts, just what I heard while at
the race.
