Kind of a stretch. A motorcycle would crash if the rider overcooked the corner or panicked and grabbed the brakes just like these guys overcooked the corner.
But there is no way a motorcycle can't negotiate that corner at a very high speed. Especially a sportbike with good suspension.
Many of these riders on their road bikes successfully negotiated it at the same speed as the guys who crashed.
We have no idea if the guys who started the chain grabbed the brakes or something.
Most of the riders accounts say they just screwed up.
The lead rider has no problems and looks very relaxed. Anytime you are following someone and they are fine and you crash behind them it is a huge stretch to say the corner was impossible to ride through.
