If they did not have the skills to go THAT fast in THAT corner under THOSE conditions and they subsequently lost control, crashed and killed themselves or another person then can you not reasonably say that speed, relevant to all the conditions, (including the riders skill level) was a contributing factor?? Bearing in mind that skill level is a subjective element that cannot really be measured especially if the rider has snuffed it as a consequence of the crash!!!!!
