When the gate dropped Antonio Cairoli went down hard on the start straight, wadding up his bike and making it impossible to finish. Scratch Italy's chances. Then a couple turns later, Gautier Paulin went down, sinking France's hopes. Jonathan Barragan is already out of the picture, but you can see Billy Mackenzie (Great Britain) losing the front end in turn one. He and his bike gathered up some other riders, including Chad Reed, and Belgian Clement Desalle.
