"Wyn Masters stated, "1. The B-line around a jump like this should never rejoin at the landing when riders jumping the jumping are going 40+kmh. 2. The Marshall should have been positioned better at the jump to stop this situation. 3. The practice time was shortened and delayed so riders were in a rush to get necessary practice on such a course. 4. Riders need to take more care and make sure they don't pull out on someone, this shouldn't be their responsibility in my mind though the course marking shouldn't allow a situation like this.""
"Wyn was attempting to clear one of the major jumps on the course. However, riders using the B-line, which connected to the jump's landing, were below. Wyn saw the rider on the landing and avoided him, but the result was a potentially season-ending crash."
