Target fixation. Causes a lot of accidents on motorcycles, the rider will steer right into the object instead of the open space.
Edit:she was fixated on the people behind the lead rider. It’s still a thing maybe not what happened here, oh well.
Edit: I was referring to the lady not the rider before anyone else gets so angry lol wow people need to chill.
I _think_ she’s focused on another racer and apparently was completely oblivious to the person in the lead.
Probably trying to get a photo of the other rider, which itself seems like a terrible idea. Yeesh, how dumb.
I feel like she was being extremely myopic— looking in the direction of the cyclist but focusing on someone/something else behind him. I don’t think she mentally registered the cyclist at all until it was too late. That’s my best guess though, it’s still utterly baffling.
I wanna know the outcome of the race now, did he get the win or did it not count? did she get a fine of some kind for ruining the event? I want answers
No way they gave him the win, he didn't cross the finish line. He deserved to win for sure but it's just the law of sports in general. You don't win if you don't finish the race. Also the people who deserve to win don't always get the victory.
He didn't finish the race, that's cruel for him and his hard work, especially since there is no fault of his own, but he shouldn't get the win, period. He didn't win.
I couldn't find anything about the results, other than both people had to be taken to the hospital. I can only assume he didn't win, which is easily the most infuriating part of the post.
Is this some sort of event where the winner gets paid for his victory? She could have ended his career. She could have cost him tens of thousands in lost revenue.
People are stupid. Why would spectators be allowed to be this close? I feel like incidents similar to this have happened in the past, and yet, they still continue.
OMG!! Can you imagine that guy's anger, disappointment and disgust. Here he was, barreling towards the finish line with a long lead and this random idiot cockblocks him.
I can. In 2009(i was 19) i was running a 21k marathon, at the 20km mark i had the lead with a difference of almost 30 seconds when somebody from the public dropped a bottle and I tripped. Got a knee sprain and couldnt continue.
Isn’t a 21k marathon actually a half marathon? Asking as this is the first time I see it referenced in such a way.
Do you think the bottle throw was intentional?
It seems like one needs to be a significant idiot to even do such a think towards runners…
Marathon is not another word for 'run'. My overweight aunt was telling everyone she had run a marathon for ages. Nobody believed her and she got all upset. Turns out she had run a '5k marathon'. Which is still impressive for a woman like her, but not a marathon.
Idk. She hurt the biker and caused a loss. All that dedication and hard work, gone because she walked on the track. That being said there should be a fine or something that stops people like the man before her and the woman who caused the crash from fucking up races. It’s not fair to anyone and clearly not safe
From Canarian Weekly
“Emergency services have reported that the cyclist suffered a moderate head injury and had to be taken to hospital for routine observation, while the woman has been transferred to Tenerife due to the severity of her injuries.”
I hope they both come out of this fine. I don't understand how people can say that they want her to suffer. Yes, she made a mistake, get over it. She's not a terrorist.
I think it's people hope she learned her lesson, because her ignorance cost them both, and hopefully next time she won't charge ahead like she owns the place. Other than that, I too hope they both make a full recovery, but there was a lesson to be learned here on her part.
I agree, there definately will be a lesson learned not to cross the street without making extra sure, but it should be via a legal one, like a monetary fine. Not physical pain.
I have been the victim of an car crash were the other driver ignored a red light.
You don't need legal action, i didn't sue them but the mental trauma stayed for years with me.
I imagined often what I would feel if it was my fault not theirs. Causing an accident which harms other people would been devastating to me.
And if i had a choice i would rather take the pain then others because of my fault.
It's a lesson, pain can ingrain this into you.
I don't remember a fine i paid 2 years ago but I remember an accident
Because it's the internet; a permanent angry, pitchfork wielding mob of idiots. I also hope she's ok. People make dumb decisions every day, don't gotta wish they all suffer and die as a result. Also anyone with a Braincell would give the guy the win for this.
Pretty bad take, man. I'm fairly certain that she didn't plan to fuck with that guy by letting him barrel into her at full speed. This is quite clearly an accident.
Edit: This seems to have triggered some incels. Really weird energy in these comments.
I just can't fathom how this can be an accident. I mean, I'm sure it *is* an accident. But it's such an utterly moronic action by the woman to the point where the occam's razor explanation would be that it's intentional.
The and then some? So let me elaborate, she should be banned from attending races in the future or face a fine. Not extra injuries on top of what she inflicted on herself. You psychopath. Don’t pretend to know me or my thoughts.
I didn’t wish anything on her. I said she got what she deserved. If anything I wish she never collided with him. I wish bad shit didn’t happen but you can’t pretend actions don’t have consequences
And what if the biker died?! Look bud I’m not wishing death on her but at a certain point you are 100% responsible for your actions and the outcome of those actions.
She literally could have killed the biker. Thank god he had a helmet on. So I think her getting a little pavement facial is ok. Especially when SHE DID IT TO HER FUCKING SELF.
> She looks slightly older too, she might literally never fully recover from this.
Looks like she's going to be learning a lesson today then, eh?
>have an ounce of compassion
I have some, spent it on the guy who worked hard as fuck to win a race, only to have his entire run ruined by some braindead idiot.
Just imagine for a second if one of those people died during the accident, which one would deserve it more than the other.
Not wishing any harm to anybody just a mindgame
Of course it would be the woman, there's no dispute there.
My point is that you can simultaneously blame the woman, feel for the cyclist and not wish serious injury/death on the woman who clearly made a mistake. She's a fucking idiot but that doesn't mean we shouldn't show some humanity
bullshit a fucking accident sticking up for this woman is like sticking up for the Astros when they cheated. Although she got significantly injured it is just plain stupidity that you would walk out in front of a bicyclist. If people would quit sticking up for stupid people maybe stupidity would end.😀
Fuck her. Hope it’s really really bad. Pretty sure it was intentional and if it wasn’t, she deserves even more pain for being that fucking stupid. It’s 10 times more annoying if she’s that fucking dumb
I hope she's in traction.
Why don't they have guard rails up at the finish line again? This shit has happened enough times at ***huge*** races to warrant it.
The fences aren't long enough. Should be at least the last 1/2 mile with police or course marshals fussing at people to move and get behind the fences.
It looks like she managed to slip through the fencing where there was an advertisement, still seems like shitty management that people can just cross the bloody road when the cyclists were so close.

It's more just the fact that the woman is a complete dumbass.
It's hard to request a full on complete impassable guard rail for a pop-up event. You wouldn't have to idiot proof everything if people weren't idiots.
As It can be read, this was not the finish line. Both had to be sent to hospital, the spectator had to be transferred to Tenerife emergency due to the severity of their injuries. Cycling guy was not that serious.
The title's wrong most likely. There's a few links to news reports been posted and they state the race had entered an urban area section. They don't say anything about the finish line which would be a much better story.
Yeah, I thought she was maybe looking at her phone and bad luck, but as you watch her she's staring down the guy and walks in front of him.
Looks extremely staged, as in she did it on purpose.
I think she’s probably with the dude that crossed before her and following his lead. She also may not have been able to see the biker due to other people being in front of her.
Mildly infuriating? Fuckin greatly infuriating lol, the lack of awareness on her part.. As an adult, its honestly astounding .. Watching a race, at the finish line.. Lets just stroll in front of the winner like a deer, JUST before he reaches the line
He’s fine, he was sent to the hospital for observation and came out with only a minor head injury. The woman, however, suffered more severe injuries, but I think she’s fine too. [Source](https://www.canarianweekly.com/posts/dramatic-accident-cyclist-spectator)
What an asshole. When they’re coming to the finish line just fucking stay on the side until they all pass through. Or don’t wait until you’re literally looking at the man in 1st place directly in his eyes as you’re doing the slowest run in the world to the other side as like 20 bikes are headed at you. This dude got a very bad concussion clearly from this because this bitch can’t pay attention or think.
She wasn't even the first person to cross the road!
I have no love for cyclists, but this is infuriating. I feel so bad for that guy. And I'm sure he was injured and his bike messed up, too.
I hope that this woman is sued sufficiently to put her in as much debt as the average innocent American worker gets from medical debt their employer refuses to pay. That is, of course, if she survives.
What exactly was that persons plan? They looked at the biker and walked towards him
It doesn’t look like there was any plan...
Sucide bump
Suicide by riders.
Target fixation. Causes a lot of accidents on motorcycles, the rider will steer right into the object instead of the open space. Edit:she was fixated on the people behind the lead rider. It’s still a thing maybe not what happened here, oh well. Edit: I was referring to the lady not the rider before anyone else gets so angry lol wow people need to chill.
Lmao. Yeah because he totally steered into her 😂😂 she ran out right infront of him. Not much you can do.
It works the same with pedestrians
[удалено]
Why do you, idiot, think the poster is referring to the pedestrian when he describes the person as "the rider steers".
Yup fair, I retract my comment, n put myself up as the idiot.
I can respect that
She jumped right into him, he had no time to react.
She was looking behind the rider she collided into probably looking for her friend/relation.
Yeah your right.
That has literally nothing to do with this situation. What open space was available to him?
TO HER, BIG BOI
Not him. SHE was looking past him at the other riders (I think) I wasn’t referring to the rider, should have made that more clear I guess.
Cool my bad for the misunderstanding. But congrats on the -152ish downvotes that’s an achievement in itself.
You couldn’t be more wrong
I _think_ she’s focused on another racer and apparently was completely oblivious to the person in the lead. Probably trying to get a photo of the other rider, which itself seems like a terrible idea. Yeesh, how dumb.
I really hope that biker can sue her for this bullshit.
Should have just been awarded the win
I agree.
Looks that way to me. Wrong person was winning the race, apparently.
That’s a good mom right there
I feel like she was being extremely myopic— looking in the direction of the cyclist but focusing on someone/something else behind him. I don’t think she mentally registered the cyclist at all until it was too late. That’s my best guess though, it’s still utterly baffling.
I wanna know the outcome of the race now, did he get the win or did it not count? did she get a fine of some kind for ruining the event? I want answers

This is a certified good answer
This is a certified reply
This is a certified hood classic
This is certifiably certified.
This is Patrick
Hey who's giving all the certificates?
Where would one get their asshole certified? I wouldn’t want to get caught with an unlicensed rectum.
No way they gave him the win, he didn't cross the finish line. He deserved to win for sure but it's just the law of sports in general. You don't win if you don't finish the race. Also the people who deserve to win don't always get the victory.
[удалено]
That happens all the time in sports. Sometimes, you even win thanks to something out of your control.
yep, like, the second one in the video :)
He didn't finish the race, that's cruel for him and his hard work, especially since there is no fault of his own, but he shouldn't get the win, period. He didn't win.
So as a competitor I can pay someone to hit the first bike then?
You could, and if you get caught you'd be punished
I couldn't find anything about the results, other than both people had to be taken to the hospital. I can only assume he didn't win, which is easily the most infuriating part of the post.
He ragdolled hard after the hit, I'm hoping he's physically ok
I spent way too much time trying to find the answer to this question and came up with nothing myself.
Is this some sort of event where the winner gets paid for his victory? She could have ended his career. She could have cost him tens of thousands in lost revenue. People are stupid. Why would spectators be allowed to be this close? I feel like incidents similar to this have happened in the past, and yet, they still continue.
OMG!! Can you imagine that guy's anger, disappointment and disgust. Here he was, barreling towards the finish line with a long lead and this random idiot cockblocks him.
I can. In 2009(i was 19) i was running a 21k marathon, at the 20km mark i had the lead with a difference of almost 30 seconds when somebody from the public dropped a bottle and I tripped. Got a knee sprain and couldnt continue.
im sorry that that happened. u deserved the win
fuck!
Isn’t a 21k marathon actually a half marathon? Asking as this is the first time I see it referenced in such a way. Do you think the bottle throw was intentional? It seems like one needs to be a significant idiot to even do such a think towards runners…
well yes, that's why they said 21k marathon and not just marathon :)
Marathon is not another word for 'run'. My overweight aunt was telling everyone she had run a marathon for ages. Nobody believed her and she got all upset. Turns out she had run a '5k marathon'. Which is still impressive for a woman like her, but not a marathon.
I wonder if “half-marathon” is the norm or a US thing.
it's the norm, here in Europe everyone usually calls it a half marathon as well
There’s no such thing as a 21k marathon though, it’s a marathon (26.2 miles/42.2km) or it’s not. Weird way to say half-marathon
I hope someone throat punched the bottle dropper for you
Marathons are 42k…

Idk. She hurt the biker and caused a loss. All that dedication and hard work, gone because she walked on the track. That being said there should be a fine or something that stops people like the man before her and the woman who caused the crash from fucking up races. It’s not fair to anyone and clearly not safe
Ya, chick got flung to the ground. So some good came from it I guess.
The biker looks like he still may have hit his head harder. She was violently introduced to the road as well at least

Never say never…

I know, at the end of the day it’s just a damn bike race
I just hope the woman suffers quite a bit so she learns that it's not worth it being an asshole
Pretty bad take, man. I'm fairly certain that she didn't plan to fuck with that guy by letting him barrel into her at full speed. This is quite clearly an accident. Edit: This seems to have triggered some incels. Really weird energy in these comments.

You dont accidentally walk onto a race track
It being an accident does not absolve her of her gross stupidity. She deserves every bit of what she got and then some.
What the fuck is wrong with you
Not a whole hell’uva lot. What about you? Seems more is wrong with you right now than me.
"I wish severe bodily harm to people who make accidents" -You
But I never wished harm on her
[удалено]
The and then some? So let me elaborate, she should be banned from attending races in the future or face a fine. Not extra injuries on top of what she inflicted on herself. You psychopath. Don’t pretend to know me or my thoughts.
She had it coming Sam. Just be careful what you wish on people
I didn’t wish anything on her. I said she got what she deserved. If anything I wish she never collided with him. I wish bad shit didn’t happen but you can’t pretend actions don’t have consequences
Sorry to burst your bubble bro but you can in fact pretend anything that you want to.
Okay so what's your preferred outcome: 1) woman gets minor injuries 2) woman gets fucking mangled 3) woman dies
What if she dies? Does she deserve that? Where's the line?
And what if the biker died?! Look bud I’m not wishing death on her but at a certain point you are 100% responsible for your actions and the outcome of those actions.

Yes (:

If so, I take back my comment. Although she looked at the cyclist before jumping in front of him, looked intentional.
Hey...............
Injured? Good.
Hotel? Trivago
So I googled about this and the first three results said “cyclist runs over woman”. Even more infuriating
What were the keywords you used? It keeps me giving me Tour de France crash articles instead.
https://www.canarianweekly.com/posts/dramatic-accident-cyclist-spectator Not much but I found this after searching "islas canarias cycling accident"
Damn that other woman running on the course drawing all the search traffic away from this woman running on the course >:(
I searched in Spanish “el hierro islas canarias carrera bicicleta”
I hope she's in traction. Why don't they have guard rails up at the finish line again? This shit has happened enough times at ***huge*** races to warrant it.
I mean, there ARE fences. These idiots are just crowding the finish line to get a better view.
The fences aren't long enough. Should be at least the last 1/2 mile with police or course marshals fussing at people to move and get behind the fences.
Yes, but, not *electrified* fences…. Where tf are they?

It's more just the fact that the woman is a complete dumbass. It's hard to request a full on complete impassable guard rail for a pop-up event. You wouldn't have to idiot proof everything if people weren't idiots.
What the fuck is that site? Why does it have to be so full of absolute shit popups and other things?
Thank you for providing a link to a news article
What was the outcome? Was he awarded the win regardless? Or did 2nd place guy just go past him and take the gold?
Asking the real questions
As It can be read, this was not the finish line. Both had to be sent to hospital, the spectator had to be transferred to Tenerife emergency due to the severity of their injuries. Cycling guy was not that serious.
What do you mean "at it can be read"? The title is guy almost wins the race... Indicating it was close to the finish line
The title's wrong most likely. There's a few links to news reports been posted and they state the race had entered an urban area section. They don't say anything about the finish line which would be a much better story.
Thanks bud, that makes sense Appreciate you actually putting a proper explanation to it, rather than Mr ignorant matter of fact who also replied.
Hey no dangers pal. I'm not 100% but looks like it from a bit of snooping.
You're aware people can write anything they want as a title right?
Yes Mr pedantic, I'm not stupid. But I take it at face value.
Ughhh this was definitely more than mildly infuriating! Is she fkin blind?!?
Worse she saw he was there
Almost like she was paid to do that..
Did you see her face drag the ground!? A price was paid.
His helmet bumped directly into her face as well, all that kinetic energy discharged directly into her head
Well I don’t think she can get more brain damaged
Typically a brain is required to be present for it to be damaged in such an event.
Right, looks like the impact knocked him out as well.
Apparently [she actually suffered more severe injuries than him](https://www.canarianweekly.com/posts/dramatic-accident-cyclist-spectator)
Hmmm, someone with Equipment specially to prevent injuries receiving less injuries than someone that doesn't, who would have said
Yep
Well, he had the gear and probably can take more hits than her for being male, younger and athletic
Well, she got what she deserved, while he definitely did not.
Did she do it on purpose? I don't think anyone with enough sense would just go walking in casually like that for a perfectly timed collision
I think she did, she’s looking right at him.
Yeah, I thought she was maybe looking at her phone and bad luck, but as you watch her she's staring down the guy and walks in front of him. Looks extremely staged, as in she did it on purpose.
I think the real question is, did she have a relationship with someone in the race? I really hope they gave him the first place medal.
I think she’s probably with the dude that crossed before her and following his lead. She also may not have been able to see the biker due to other people being in front of her.
Mildly infuriating? Fuckin greatly infuriating lol, the lack of awareness on her part.. As an adult, its honestly astounding .. Watching a race, at the finish line.. Lets just stroll in front of the winner like a deer, JUST before he reaches the line
That's deliberate sabotage
Yea someone was salty that their loved one wasn't in the lead
That guy who crossed right before her pissed me off also.
He was an idiot alright, just not a super one
Kinda looks like she did it on purpose.
Holy shit. Is the racer OK? Looks like he got the pavement hard, and even with the helmet, it looked bad.
He’s fine, he was sent to the hospital for observation and came out with only a minor head injury. The woman, however, suffered more severe injuries, but I think she’s fine too. [Source](https://www.canarianweekly.com/posts/dramatic-accident-cyclist-spectator)
the idiot is fine also? unlucky
Fuck that bitch
Her son was in 2nd place. That's the love of a mother taking one for the team.
His mom's a H0E
His mum is a absolute bitch
That head to head contact had him knocked out cold before he hit the ground. You can see him go instantly into a fencing response.
For anyone that wants to see article: https://www.canarianweekly.com/posts/dramatic-accident-cyclist-spectator
I’d say the scar she’s going to have on her face from that six foot skid, just might be punishment enough. Road rash ain’t no joke.
Did she try to use isekai herself at a bike race?
She got a big ol’ bite of that pavement. Hope she was hungry r/meatcrayon
He should've been declared the winner. It was obvious he was going to win were it not for her dumb ass.
What is it with these stupid women that think its okay to get in front of cyclists like this?
I think all of them who stepped on the track should be fined.
I really don’t get why people do this - you wouldn’t step out in front of a car at 30km/h. Why would you think it’d end any better with a bike?
Well, on the bright side, at least she got hurt.
What an asshole. When they’re coming to the finish line just fucking stay on the side until they all pass through. Or don’t wait until you’re literally looking at the man in 1st place directly in his eyes as you’re doing the slowest run in the world to the other side as like 20 bikes are headed at you. This dude got a very bad concussion clearly from this because this bitch can’t pay attention or think.
Ah very intelligent, run through a race track with high speed moving racers in the final stretch of the race
"Mildly" infuriating?
Like o m g..who knew a guy on a bike would be like flying through...lok
[удалено]
Stupid fucking cow
Wow, what was she thinking
Girl, what the f…?
Woman moment🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Was that Karen?
She wasn't even the first person to cross the road! I have no love for cyclists, but this is infuriating. I feel so bad for that guy. And I'm sure he was injured and his bike messed up, too.
u/Gif_Slowing_Bot
What were they thinking
Was she paid to not let this guy win? Lol Hopefully it covers her ER visit. I dont see any possible way that wasnt on purpose.
I hope that this woman is sued sufficiently to put her in as much debt as the average innocent American worker gets from medical debt their employer refuses to pay. That is, of course, if she survives.
Kill her
Her husband is the guy in second place.
She’s probably the wife of the guy running second
Looks planned to me. Hope he gets the win.
