Looks to me like the first bike had a rear tire failure that resulted in chunks of rubber and that huge cloud of smoke, then his fall. Everyone else looks like chain reaction from that.

I doubt it was the corner that caused it.

what a nightmare ..

the first bike looks to have blown a hose of some sort .. maybe water, maybe oil (I would guess buy the smoke it way oil) he goes down, but not before coating the entire line around the apex of the corner with what ever he's spitting out which means that the 7 or 8 riders directly behind him have no idea the tracks been slicked and they all crack into the corner full steam and just shoot right off the track.

I've watched a lot of racing and I have to say that that's one of the worst accidents I've ever seen.

it's also hard to tell exactly how many riders went down .. looks like 7.

four right off, then one more when the course workers first step out, then two more not long after.

and after watching it a couple more times I've got to change the 'worst accident' bit .. looks like the only guy to get hurt was the first guy down, and although he took some dings he only nearly gets cleaned out by the other bikes..

Wow, amazing crash. The video replays bits though. The same crash from different angles, and the guy slamming into the padding only to barely avoid getting creamed by an incoming bike is repeated. Still, amazing. I'd bet they all walked away from it though.
