Take it with more than a pinch of salt, he's a bit of a drama queen. I'm not saying it wasn't bad, everyone knows it was, but everything seems to be hell for the author, and he comes off as a bit of a  in other race blogs. If velonews is indeed training the spotlight on Asian cycling through this author's eyes, they might as well start a fair trade workshop run by Bernie Madoff.

Genesys made it sound better than it was in this case. That said, can't bring globalisation of cycling into this. It was a organiser making a error, it's not the norm in Asian races.

Having read that, my honest opinion:
I'm all for globalizing cycling, and holding UCI races with rather big fields in "non-traditional" cycling countries. What Rodgers described here, though, is inexcusable. Period.
The safety of the riders should always be the first and foremost concern of commissaires, organisation and others surrounding the race.
Quite honestly, I think the entire organisation behind this race should get replaced.

Goughy 2:26 down in the end, expected, but not good form.

seems to have been a fairly broken up end to the race with the peloton splitting into 4 just before the end a group of 34 broke away about 20kms from the finish with 2 riders getting away from that group about 5kms later the two riders held off the remaining group with Park (KSPO) winning the stage and taking GC lead at same time Jang from KTM was second on the stage and takes 3rd overall. Group of 32 came in at 13 seconds with the rest of the bunch arriving 20 seconds later ON overall still about 30 riders within 20 seconds of the lead Full results http://cyclingiq.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/tdk2012-results-stage-elite-s6.pdf

I didn't know that Richeze had gone to a Japanese team. Bit of an odd move for him.

Genesys making the accident sound worse
Wow what a day. Hope we don't have too many more like that. Seeing a bunch ploughed into by a moto doing 100km/h was sickening

Update on the motorbike incident from Kristian House from Rapha
apparently it clipped Kristian then hit ISD's Yuriy Agarkov
Kristian said the motorbike rider "was weaving in and out of riders on the climb, coming on the inside of us on corners"...

1) A Serebrayakov (TT1); 2) M Richeze (Nippo); 3) A Kemps (Champion System)
