St Landrew Posted 5 July, 2010 Share Posted 5 July, 2010 On the first lap, 9 riders went down, and there were a few in the middle of the race. But this crash just proves how high a price a motorcycle racer can pay for just a small mistake. Remakably, he's OK...

Ponty Posted 5 July, 2010 Share Posted 5 July, 2010 Yes, it was impressive. There's even a nasty bit where the camera angle makes it appear that the bike crashes down on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Landrew Posted 5 July, 2010 Author Share Posted 5 July, 2010 was he officially classified as finishing? I hoped he would have been, but officially, he didn't cross the line with his machine. That is, he wasn't onboard, because he was certainly in close proximity and partial contact. In short, no, he wasn't classified as finishing. IIRC, he would have been 8th behind Kenny Noyes [the guy he ran into]. He actually laughed about it afterwards. Absolute nutters are bike racers.
