Tomac San Diego Main Event crash?

Tomac wasn't sitting too bad at the beginning of the Main, and then saw him on the ground in the background with what looked like CC28. Anybody have any info on what happened? Seems like he was trying to get going for a while and that's where he lost all his time.

Video showed CC getting cross rutted and going across the track right in his path.

I did this screen grab from a video posted in the thread titled "Did mookie take out Tomac"

Craig cased a little jump and went sideways right into Tomacs line. Since ET3 was already in the air they collided. Tomac got up right away but his bike was bent and he didn't get back on the track until he was in 20th place

On the broadcast he rode his bike to the top of the next jump, stopped and tried to get his bike into neutral for some reason. Its like, HELLO JUST GET GOING DUDE..

Just in those few seconds he lost 10 spots. That was just shit luck for both of them. 

Craig was finally in a good spot to start a race too.

His clutch lever was pushed way up high. He stopped to fix it. I would guess he did that so he could try to ride at a decent pace and work his way back up.

I'm curious if he tried to get it in neutral of if it was stuck in 4th gear and he was trying to jimmy it loose or get it into a gear he could ride the track in.

In the Dean Wilson video you can see what happens to Tomac and then you can see that Craig is hurt.
