A (Dis)taste of Amateur Racing in 2019

If you have Instagram check out Cory Williams's 2nd story captioned, "The most disrespectful thing I've ever seen in a race."

Definite grounds for a suspension.

Maybe a wasp flew into his mouth and he freaked out?

Didn't notice anything bad. Just men racing, everyone wants to win and yet all of them, but one, will lose.

Don't spit on people in pacelines. If you do, don't be surprised if you're dealing with another kind of problem after the race.

As a side note, that video quality is really great! I wish my crappy little camera performed that well.

Thanks for the link, but I couldn't tell what happened, so please clue me in. Obviously, someone was bleeping mad about it!

it's pathetic, he really should be sanctioned for spitting. I'm not sure what he was doing before that, just kinda sat up and got in everyone's way. I think he got upset that the race got too close to him while he was JRA.

The finish was pretty interesting. The guy in the white jersey is a monster, but he had no chance.

I was also unimpressed by the crash right at the beginning of the video

In the rest of the Instagram story the poster said they called him a re**rd when he let a gap open up and he reacted by spitting on the guy in the video. Both actions are sh**ty and don’t belong in racing. The poster said the guy who spit needs to be able to take name calling, which is also a dumb arguement. No one is in the right here in my eyes. Reminds me of the guys in that American Crit video that made the rounds last month. All the people involved in this make crit racing suck.
