Interesting video - shot and executed really well I must say.

Looks like its not just folks in Bangalore who have issues with pro riders and amateur riders racing together.

Haha..

It is not about racing together though(which might happen very rarely there in some grandfondos/exhibition races). Anyone can ride the same route at anytime to take the KOM. They need not be riding in the same ride/race together.

These guys have a problem cause an unequal player (better trained, more resources etc etc) is racing the same race (a strava segment basically) and kicking butt on it. So its kinda the same issue folks had cause the Trek/Firefox guy came and rode circles around everyone at the prev crit.

Great video either ways - I think its a well subtle well shot marketing video more than anything else!
