Re: Sailboat holds up bike race...

Reminds me of when there is a serious wreck on a race track and they have to red flag the race. The cars that were way back get the chance to catch up.

And of course whoever planned a race that includes a drawbridge is a complete idiot.
I've been in foot races that cross railroad tracks and were interrupted by scheduled trains.
