>>2000066>I reckon the added risk from racing is fairly smallEvery "real cyclist" I've spoken to acts like crashes from racing are pretty much routine and from just watching non-competitive group rides, or temporarily getting sucked into a pack of wild roadies when out for my weekend "don't think about sudoku for a while" cope rides, it seems impossible that people could ride that close competitively and not have frequent crashes, the average cruising speed for those people is like my max sprint speed where I'm on full alert for the tiniest rock that will kill me let alone a pothole and they do it without even being able to see the road
