when you look at 0:07 you see that white- blue guy, almost crashing in to you, and at0:09 someone says GET OF THE ROAD!, so you ARE too close to the riders.
Don't understand me wrong, I love spectators, but only if they aren't a riscfactor to the peleton..
just like the (spanish) mountain stages where people are touching the riders, it wouldn't be the first time a rider falls due to spectators
To you negative nay-sayers, check the last frames on my other video, View from the trees Stage 4 Tour Down Under 2010 and you will see me crouched taking my popular Jens Voigt video, where I am "off the road", so go have a wax and relax.
lol i am relaxed. just saying that it's not that smart to try n catch the riders up close, mayb you werent ON the road, but i THINK that if you werent in the way, all those riders wouldnt have to go around you, and even say that you should 'get off the road'.
Spectators are cool and all, but those pro's really couldnt care less if there's one person just a meter further away from the road.. but its funny to look at though.
Loosen your lycra lads. We were in front of someone else's vehicle, so either it was us or tonne+ of metal. If you race then you know that you want the crowd to watch, because that fuels your ego. Do you want the public to support or you want to whinge, either way find something else to look at if you don't like it.
No, don't need to, it was all safe. We were to the side and not running in front of them, one rider said something and now you have something to say. When you think of it yourself then let know, otherwise just keep following the pack. Wake up to yourself, without the spectators the sport is nothing.
hahaha "GET OF THE ROAD!!" :P
