I hear shoulder dislocated and lost title Sad

Did Trey go down before CP went down, so basically CP just had to be in safe mode to be a champ?

By the way. Congrats to TC! Good work!

Canard fell down just after he passed Pourcel for 4th. Pourcel moved past Seeley and was safely in 3rd way behind Wilson and Rattray and ahead of Canard who was back up to 5th. If it stayed like that CP would have had a 10 point lead heading into moto 2. Pourcel apparently crashed by himself on a small uphill double that did not seem tricky at all and dislocated his shoulder. The medics reset CP's shoulder but he was not able to start the second moto.

Did anyone actually see the crash?
On TV they showed him down and holding his shoulder.
Would love to hear what happened,from an eye witness.

Way to go camera guys to NOT catch the crash at all. Jesus Christ. I would think that the orders to the camera guys to day was to keep a camera on 377 and 38 AT ALL TIMES. Ooops.

...And, I can only imagine he came up short and went over the bars as they were jumping that and basically landing flat right at the edge. Probably got to comfortable and didn't get enough lift.

It was such an easy, dumb little uphill double that I almost suspect bike failure because he was all alone without pressure, and it's very uncharacteristic of him to crash alone.

It is a mystery what happened, he may have cross rutted. The jump did not look difficult, the girls were jumping it no problem.

He got lost in the same black hole of TV camera coverage that Metty did when he lost the lead in moto 2.

WTF? This is not how you should lose a title... That sux so badly I want to break something. Damn he must be pretty sad right now and I just wished we could share some happiness for a change...

Hang in there kiddo.

I saw Metty go down from a distance at the bottom of the downhill, just over cooked it from my distance. Pourcel and Canards crash were out of my sight. Tough finding places to see from, wish I would have pre viewed the finished track.

It wasn't that they had cut to a different camera at the time it happened, there was literally no footage of the incident, no replays, nothing.
