With the concrete gutter and boulders on the side of the road, you'd think they would put in extra safety measures on that turn. It looks like such an obviously dangerous section, but i have the benefit of hindsight and sitting on my couch

If they dont already do this, they should have an ex-pro rider scout the course and recommend measures based on experience in race situations.
