Good stuff! Thanks for posting it, Riceaholic.
I've searched on Youtube for videos of these races before, but I must have been doin' it wrong, because I never found this guy's uploads. He's got lots more to watch, too.
Wild racing, for sure. Close passes and drafting at crazy speeds, packs of bikes four wide all vying for the lead, and a hair-raising finish. All on paint-striped closed roads lined with curbs, walls, lamp- and signposts, spectators, and other nightmares.
One of my goals is to race in a "real" road race someday, but a nagging paradoxical snag seems inevitable--If I actually had the success and financial wherewithal to go racing overseas, I might actually value my life too much to try it.
Then again...maybe not.
