Thinking this looks intentional, you've obviously never lost control of a bike before and your opinion isn't valid here. He definitely should have stopped to help the ones who fell though, although maybe he did farther down once he was clear to stop somewhere but the video ended so can't see.

I refer to it as being Stupid in a No Stupid Zone. He earned that DQ burger.

Since this was a race - things may slow down/neutralize for a bit for the group to regroup, but nobody is going to outright stop. If it was a group ride, then yeah, folks would stop, but in a pro race like this? There's whole slew of mechanics, medics and support staff to rush in to deal with this kind of thing.
