    There's a capable chap who can answer the ongoing "it was someone elses screw-up so it couldn't be avoided" saga, he's even turned it into a video. You're welcome

    Most of what he said really just comes under the heading of forward thinking. Should be commonsense but how many riders see a gap and think “I can fit in there” compared to “I wonder why that gap is there”. Another significant point he made concerned filtering speed. I sometimes watch riders splitting and filtering as if they think they’re in a video game; these people drastically reduce their reaction time and wiggle room in the event of the unexpected.

    Some good riding.

    Most dangerous I thought was the huge amount of cage lane hoggers. ...

    Imagine riding for that long on a motorway and no roadworks.

    Get rid of Fulton Hogan and get some Malaysian companies to build them.
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    I don't think anyone says there is no such thing. Some say that they don't feel any pressure to keep up on a personal level though. Your misinterpretation of basic reading is fucking outstanding.

    Common sense indeed, unless one possesses none
