The curiosity got to me so I went to their site to find more photos.
Here's the story from the guy in the back (I'm sure there's some crude term for that)

"Based on the photos and my recollection - Burrows (WSU) sprinted/lead-out early and up the middle, Wilson V. (Mengoni) jumped right and I followed on the left. Seeing a clear line to the finish, lowered my position (and head) and went into full sprint. Meanwhile, Wilson, began to overtake Burrows narrowly on the right, and Burrows quickly swerved away and left, directly in front of me. I saw his rear wheel suddenly come into my line, but it was too late and I immediately hit him and was literally on his saddle. The photos show the rest. His coolness and ability to maintain control saved us both a ton of skin.

I obviously need to work on sprinting with my head up a bit more, but I'm not even convinced that it would of prevented a collision in this case.

We were sprinting for the same reason that we (hopefully) all race - for fun, and this was definitely fun. "

Elsewhere it is noted that they were sprinting for 13th place. High stakes!

Here's a direct link to photos and comments from the peanut gallery.

Well, ya know... The shoes have cleats!

(efffen amazing - I still can't figure out how he got his right leg around the guy in front of him. And I'm impressed that neither of them went down.)

The only thing impressive about that sequence is the incredible stupidity of it all.
