And in my experience in the Midwest USA, even the gravel races that are ‘you against others’ and basically just road races on dirt tend to be less dangerous in terms of super tight, shoulder-to-shoulder racing. Idk if that comes down to the personalities of the racers (doubtful cause most of them raced both) or to the more technical road surface not allowing the same pack dynamics. But the gravel races always felt more safe.
