Ian Walker's shadow (via Ian Walker on Twitter).JPGLive blog: Ian Walker wins the North Cape 4000, Metro tweet footage of truck driver nearly turning into cyclist (and blames cyclist) + more
Occasionally our live blog can be a little slow to load, give it a few seconds and if you're still having no joy then try refreshing the page.
Jack has been writing about cycling and multisport for over a decade, arriving at road.cc via 220 Triathlon Magazine in 2017. He worked across all areas of the website including tech, news and video, and also contributed to eBikeTips before being named Editor of road.cc in 2021 (much to his surprise). Jack has been hooked on cycling since his student days, and currently has a Trek 1.2 for winter riding, a beloved Bickerton folding bike for getting around town and an extra beloved custom Ridley Helium SLX for fantasising about going fast in his stable. Jack has never won a bike race, but does have a master's degree in print journalism and two Guinness World Records for pogo sticking (it's a long story).

Did the lorry driver have to make it a three point turn because he had to brake (to avoid killing the cyclist), or did he get that wrong too? In any event, he really needs to learn to check his mirrors more, I think. Clearly he's one of that (very common) class of drivers who think that indicators grant priority rather than showing intention.
Well done to that man taking the video! How many of us would have spotted what was going to happen?
Turning left from the right hand straight on lane. Bellend.
This is something that drivers of long wheel based vehicles are taught to do, due to their abysmal turning circle , and other road users are expected to take this into account- See HC rule 221.
But cockwomble observation skills nevertheless.
That vid should be shown in courts where cyclists have been killed by trucks turning left.
The driver assumed that inidicating gave him right of way.
I also think he was telling helmet cam not to worry as he wasn't in danger as driverman was turning left and not right (hadn't he seen the clear indication). I think driver man was 100% oblivious of the other cyclist.
Blid spot my arse!
His indicator is on, so he can just charge through? Wanker!
Does anyone actually ever challenge these media outlets?
Is there anything illegal with a media company editing a video to make it look like something else, trying to promote hatred?
Metro?
A rag with content the value of its cover price. Owned by the same mob as the Daily Mail.
C’mon Dr Ian!
Video doesn't show enough of the low loader and cyclist. Did the cyclist creep up the left before the lorry moved and hence was hidden?
Captions on the metro video were nonsense anyhow.
The cyclist was ahead of the lorry well before the turn and was in the left lane. The lorry was in the right lane. If he wanted to change lanes he should wait until the road was clear. Whatever happened the cyclist clearly did not creep up the side of the lorry. At worst she passed him in a diffrent lane and the lorry was in the wrong lane for a left turn.
Ah, thanks I didn't spot it was 2 lanes.
At 11seconds you can see the
killing machine in the hands of a I don't give a fuck because I'm not bothered to look to my left wankerever so careful driver and his unicorns overtake the cyclist a few metres before the junction.This is contrary to the HC not to mention it threatens the life of a human being because this knobjockey can't be fucking arsed to look, so it should be deemed as dangerous driving. Cunts like this kill and maim with impunity and not give two fucks and people like Metro, daily heil and THINK will continue to blame the victims/vulnerable.
Government sponsorsed victim blaming at its finest here which is contrasry to the HC about overtaking at/near a junction and cutting in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7lBvN80JaQ
Sad that even the Metro has joined in the cycle bashing. Who owns them now, would it be the Murdochs perchance? Or the Express group, or some other bunch of cycle haters?
Great news about Dr Walker.
I'm not a twitterer - did Metro come back after all that to try and explain why they thought that it was the cyclist's fault? Or are they too busy swotting up on the HC?
