Way to go. You are awesome. I generally try to make sure riders are okay if I see one stopped, but don't know if I would question too much if they said they were okay.

How odd is this -- yesterday 2 emergency vehicles showed up at our CX race here in MI. Apparently some guy had been in a car/bike accident earlier in the week and was given the go-ahead by his PCP to compete this weekend...sometime during or after the race he was not feeling well. We commented that his doc likely had no clue re: the intensity of a CX race.

So Zoom-zoom- what happened to the rider at the cyclo-cross race? I was told that the intensity of effort of racing up a big hill etc, would have put a lot more pressure on the brain, increased the bleeding etc with respect to the guy I helped.

Wow, that's pretty crazy! You must feel good that you were able to get him to the help he needed. You just never know in those situations. I've been involved with two incidents of people getting a concussion after passing out briefly, one in a bike accident and one a snowboarding accident. With both they did the whole nine yards of the ambulance and the tests "just to be safe", and that's really all it was because both people were ultimately fine. But then there are those times when "just to be safe" reveals something pretty major, like in your case.
Yay for you that you were there and took the time to ask if he was okay.
