You all might laugh at this, but Kenny's technique is spot on (on toes, lowest point of body gripping bike, core engaged, and you can bet your ass "loose hips." Awesome save and ride by Kenny. Lowest place of the year - 4th. Talk about consistent

Looks like Mikhaylov if you look close...

It didn't look that intense on Tv, That was quite the save.

Congrats and props to the 2014 champ!

It was Mikhaylov.

Kenny said after that he almost pooped his pants.

Moto is so dodgy sometimes. The lead Kenny had halfway through the series and twice in the last two races it was all almost for naught.

So very lucky and skilled not to go down and hard!

Wheres the helmet cam footage?

Wouldnt be happy if I was the other guy, hard to tell from the vid, but he didnt seem to be to squirrelly when KR hit him.

Yep the Championship could've been decided there and then,by with due respect by a privateer rockin' up each week in his van Pinch

I guess he's got every right to be there though,thankfully it all ended ok,well savedWink

You can see Mikhaylov looking at the back of that jersey and thinking OMG I Just KILLED KENNY.

Tremendous save thats for sure.

Once again congrats too Kenny you where Awesome all year.
