250km/h on a bike is just crazy.

bikers don't usually tour alone.
so maybe someone behind him saw it.

no.
i don't think i've experienced very strong crosswinds.
so far the strongest i've felt is along ECP at Benjamin Sheares Bridge.
yea hvn experienced that too. must be pretty damn bad luck for a motorist to get struck by it.
