That photo is genuine, he flew an esimated 60m, bursting a shock absorber on landing, as he reached the stop line of the stage the shocker fluid caught fire and the driver was taken to hospital with back problems.

Apparently it hit the rev limiter at the takeoff which is 220kph!

There are videos on youtube of it as well.

Utterly amazing.

The two doubters above never did admit they were wrong...
