 This is a quote from what the rider seen to be throwing mud at a fellow racer had to say regarding criticism which has resulted from the event, he's been unfairly negative propped so people are unable to see his comment, I'd appreciate if you could take the time to give it a read.

I know the rider involved very well, and he is one of the most laid back, easy going riders on the circuit, so I was extremely surprised to hear about him being accused of violence.

"i am that nob that apparently slung mud into his face i can honestly say that was not what happened i did not go to punch him/ sling mud into his face. i was franticly running back up to get my bike and i slipped again thinking i was going to fall into him i put my hands up and out because i didnt relise he was there near me and it surprised me then i fell over again i can truely say am sorry people felt like i did but i didnt its a friendly race and people who know me would know that am not like that. I have personally apologised to the rider and explained my story, i was also questioned both by farmer john and the bc commasaire who both said i did nothing wrong and gave me a re run so please except my side of the story and stop spreading rumours.
Thank you"

 It does look pretty bad... But it does also look like you fall over immediately!

While we're throwing wild accusations around can we have a go at the woman in orange at 4:47 for kicking that kid in the face!

 WTF spoonyman, she doesn't look like she's anywhere close to kicking him, all you see is her reflex to pull her leg away.
