Absolutely not. Close racing but not dirty.

Judgment call...you can see his head was turned slightly so he knew he was there and coming up on him hard...in turn made an erratic change in position. I'd like to see the laps prior, had he not been making the same move then its dirty IMO.

I wouldn't say "dirty" racing, but definately a bad move.

Not dirty in my book. He did make an erratic move but he can't be held accountable for what happens behind him. That's what happens when you brake the 3 foot rule...

It was a blatant block move, which is fine but I'm sure he didn't intend to hit his brake lever. This happens often in bike racing. Swantz had it happen years ago and pancaked himself.

I am not buying the "criminal act" line there. Unfortunate yes, but intentional..I doubt it.

That was definitely an intentional blocking move...the ramifications were unfortunate though.

To clarify..yes I think me meant to block him...but not to intentionally cause that crash.
