Moto GP Crash in Practice

[Aubrey]

Blimey, just saw Anthony West crash into the airfence, scary! Amazing technology that they can hit it at over 100 mph and walk away.

Bikes a different matter though... all that lovely, now smashed carbon fibre, makes you weep!

Don't think he hit the air bag at a 100 after the 100 yrd gravel rash slide he had before, more like 15 mph

..Unlike the guy in the Tour de France that hit at small road sign whilst boxed in "the peloton" & went over the bars smack onto the tarmac from about 8ft up. Expensive Carbon fibre bike broke clean in two!
