1.) Going with max speed say 100Km/hr on bike on Indian road is always RISK
2.) Cut down the speed to 20 to 30 Km/hr, we can say to mitigate the risk or mitigation plan
3.) No options to cut down the speed less then 100Km/hr, but with proper safety precautions we could say Contingency plan.

I'll share my view.

Risk: its simply chances/probability of getting loss.

Mitigation: Lessen the Severity/minimization of potential impact

Contigency: A chance, accident, or possibility conditional on something uncertain:Eg. He was prepared for every contingency
