There is a reason there are so many people there to film all these idiots along the same stretch of road. It's a fun ride, and they were all pretty much within the speed limit. The problem is with the ability of the riders.

Well said. Some of those turkeys displayed monumental ineptitude. How many were laid over and really "racing"? Most just didn't know how to ride around a relatively innocuous corner. What were they looking at? The cameras, the spectators? The only certainty is they weren't looking where they wanted, or needed, to go. Running off the outside with about 20deg of lean angle? Come on! One turkey even ran off on the inside. Some classic footage of very poor throttle control from riders, and the appellation "riders" is being used loosely, on bikes that seemed to have too much power for their ability.
Good title for this comedy video might be "Looney Tunes". I re-ran a few highlights while splitting my sides with laughter.

And I do feel for those cyclists. Riding into a Tarmac asylum is fraught with danger for anyone. That is one reason I avoid some of the more popular motorcycle roads on weekends or holidays. Nothing worse than seeing a bright red Panigale coming at you on the wrong side of the centreline.
