PICS: Why Dean Ellison isn't at Brands...

How long between the first bike dropping and Dean Ellison hitting hit? It is very clear from the pictures that even after Ellison hit the other bike the flag man was waving the green flag..

Mercer was thrown from his bike, the narrowly missed by a couple of riders behind him, then Ellison came out the chicane and before he had chance to brake properly, he was hitting the fallen bike. Then it took the chumps marshalling too long to get to him lying motionless down they track. They were too busy tending to the bikes for some reason. There were a lot of people fearing the worst after such a huge crash, but thankfully Dean's ok (relatively.)

Not all the marshalls were appalling at the scene though, as some were clearing the track of debris and warning the other riders to keep to the left and slow down (Stuart Easton was riding like a pr**k under red flag conditions.)
