well from a riders perspective. He was coming out of a turn, the bikes in front of him avoided the outside corner, and he had his brakes slammed all the wan into impact. I know watching the camera in slow motion breaks things down for you, but when you're riding, shit happens fast.


really sad to see.

I saw that first guy crash and slide. "Hmm, that didn't look so bad... Oh! Damn that had to hurt!"

Talk about bad luck, to have that much smoke/dirt in the air right at the hazard, in the center of the track. Since we couldn't see him I doubt he could see the bike.

wow all i have to say is i have a lot of respect for motogp and bike riders in general. i know freq personally and i have to tell you some of the stuff they do without having protection around them like a car...damn. after meeting with freq and doing a lot of research on bikes...i dunno i think i'm pretty interested. that and motogp opened my eyes to true racing in my mind. if your a true hardcore sob screw cars. ride a bike and see how manly you think you are doing what motogp racers do all the time with absolutely no roll cages or anything except a leather suit (or whatever its made out of )
