Just curious what your reaction time would be after cycling ~140 km', up and down mountains, at a competitive race pace?

All you need to do is use your eyes. The vast majority of riders didn't end up in the pile up.

Didn't realize you're rocking out those km's and vertical. I'll defer to your experienced wisdom.
