+1 The people along the course there just stood and watched. Maybe they called EMS or something on their cells but it would have been nice to see someone hop over the rail and render some help.
☝️Hawkins, OTOH, should have stopped and just called it day at the first of sign of trouble. He reminds of the boxers who keep trying to get up and fight after a few brutal knock downs and the ref has to finally call the match.
☝️ I don't think you can expect Shelly to come to a screeching halt when he's focused on the finish & racing for time in a championship pro event And just what is he suppose to do? Start checking the guy's vitals? Call for help? Give him some water? All these things could have been done by those passive bystanders along the course.
In pro cycling, there's many crashes with riders spilled all the over the road and none of the other riders stop and render aid unless it's a teammate who's a domestique and not racing to win.
