Lyne Bessette just crashed and needed a wheel

Guess where the wheel was/

In the Trunk/Boot of the Kanuk Support Vehicle

CN says VanMoorsel screwed up and took her out? Yes, no?

Yes it was on TV. VanMoorsel pulled the Cat 5 move and while looking
over her shoulder let her front wheel get taken out. She was the 2nd
rider in the pack when she fell and took Bessette and another rider out
with her. VanMoorsel was taken away in the ambulance.

Have you looked at the crash more then once?

Since they showed the crash several time in slow motion on the T.V.
coverage yes I saw the crash several time ( from different angles
also).

I saw a cameraman getting another angle in the USA channel feed I saw, but I
don't remember seeing that angle. The only angle I saw was the one repeated
over and over a few times. They did a overhead from the copter but that was
worthless to really see anything. From what I could see it looks like
Iturriaga cut sharply too the left taking out LZ wheel just as she was
looking back. It happened so fast that I don't think she could of avoided
it. It appeared that LZ held her line almost one length behind but couldn't
adjust in time once Iturriaga cut over.

what I saw I would not call a sudden move on the part of the rider in
front of LZ. It looked like a normal drifting to the left. The problem
for LZ was she looked behind her while her wheel was overlapped with
another rider and that other rider drifted into the front wheel while
LZ was looking behind her.
