That crash was brutal. My little sister was the one doing Superman in the Women's B race, and she'll be slurping soup through a straw for 6 more weeks.

I guess you missed the crashin the Women's B's in which a young woman from Air Force Academy was taken off in an ambulance with most likely a broken jaw. I'm just sayin'

Yeah, collegiate racing rocks, and those are nice pictures.

“relatively tame courses” often have the biggest crashes, especially if crit course with shallow bends instead of real corners. People bunch up, instead of getting strung out. Technical crit courses may have more crashes, but the crashes are usually smaller due to the field being strung out.
