Sounds like a box ticking
Sounds like a box ticking exercise to me – a complaint’s been made, so they have to go through the motions of talking to you before concluding that there’s nothing to see here.
Probably best to get the advice of someone more qualified than internet lawyers, though.

I would assume they’re coming from the far end of that view and falling down the steps, rather than trying to drive up them, but even so…

I always thought the road closures effectively suspended the rules of the road for the passage of the race. Certainly on the larger races, none of the vehicles seem to pay much attention to speed limits (or, for that matter, road markings, etc.).
