Before I start I have always supported marshaling and the great teams of people out there, but I have to say tonight was not one of their finest moments at one point on the course. There was flash photography being used and not one of the marshals reacted until the photographer got off at least 6 or 7 shots, they were all too busy on their phones to notice. At least one of them said something after the photographer had his shots, but it was a shambles at a very dangerous point.

I know that this is not the general standard but am very very surprised at this especially after all that went on after last year. This could have had serious consequences for the competitors especially in the wet.

Lets hope this is just a one off.
