That was so brutal man... I wonder if he would have been better off not bailing???
Ya i was always told to stay on,let the bike absorb some of the hit. But every situation is differant i didn't see the whole replay just the end. That was hard to watch, anyone who has ever broken their legs felt that. Wish him a speedy recovery.

i don't dare touch the stream!

Agreed. I suppose it was instinctive but you gotta think you're better off the bike taking that initial impact instead of your legs.
Yep, split second to make decision... Poor bastard.

Been there... Instinct makes you jump when you know you're going to drop into the backside and you're guaranteed to snap wrists, arms, elbows, and eat the bars with your chest, face, jaw or worse throat...

Yeah if the front drops for sure... I've been flipped over the bars twice from casing, I've never hit with the front wheel low thankfully.

It was Hampshire, I was sitting in the stands right next to the triple. Didn't see it though.

Really impressed with Tonus ! I can't get the stream is he looking wild or smooth and controlled ?
Having said that he has super slick style

Tonus had 4 or 5 51s already. Incredible

Wow, the way Marvin got round that corner after the finish... The corner speed of these top riders is something else.
