I wouldn't have put them at more than 60-70 mph. We have a lot of roads like that where you just get into the swing. Still there were a few moves that I was nervous about.. usually blind corners and overtaking.
Going back over that last scene I'd lay my left nut that they ALL went down. There is a bloke standing on the road about 20 yds further up plus one on the right just as camera guy went down. The road seemed to definately have new loose road surface laid. I don't know if they do this in the states but we often get some new roads where they spray a thick layer of tar then spread blue chip over the top, THEN they let the cars mash it all together. There is nothing scarier than finding up to an inch of blue chip in the middle of your lane, your bike walks around a lot. Imagine riding your bike in the loose stuff on the edge of a dirt road.
Just for my money, the speed they were travelling prior wasn't excessive, but the road condition was the undoing. I didn't notice any 'roadworks' signs until JUST before the surface change.. RHS about 5 yds before the change. There looked like a 50kmh sign before the corner, they did look over that speed. The camera guy spots the trouble and stands the bike up, you can see him jump on the brakes, I think I heard it lock the wheel but it was all too late.
Just my 95 cents... Let the flames begin !!! LOLZZ

Hey wanted to ask.. early on there is a kinda squeak on his downshifts.. do Slipper clutches make a noise like that or a noise at all?
Thanks
