If Tanel hadn't of gone on the inside to try and pass Aranda, and instead went outside and tripled the downhill. That wouldn't happened, before all the TM haters come aboard.

Well wishes to both riders!

Billy was committed to quading though... And you would assume Billy was expecting Tanel to come across too only triple it.

Mac hit his head so hard that I was fearing for the worst for a while.

WTF? That was your first thought after watching that video? You and Kongols take fanboy to a new level.

I hope Mac is okay, that was quite a hit to the melon.

Billy doesn't make a habit of landing on others or taking them out.

He was having a solid ride, this was a real unfortunate racing accident, not a malicious take out move with no regard for others safety.

Just home from the event, it was scary for a while with MacKenzie lying on the track motionless for ages. He rode great all weekend and showed that with the talent he has. he should be in GPs full time again.

Fuck you Ape, you know he`s right ! Different standards for different people. Typical. And I expressed my concerns about their well being in a other thread when it happened.

I just got home too. This was horrible. Saw a tweet from Racerx that said they were both walking and up on their feet. Man, hope thats true.

After re-watching the clip, almost looks like he was knocked out on the first impact which may have caused him to look so floppy and contorted. Really hope its nothing crazy serious. Was great to see Billy back shredding on home soil.

just as Desalle's / Bobryshev's crash was completely different to this crash, this crash was totally different to stewart's / carmichael's......

nothing to do with the riders, but everything to do with the actual stuff that happened on the track and the circumstances involved.... this was absolutely nothing like either of the aforementioned crashes in so many ways, i feel embarrassed that other names have even been mentioned

pitiful

Yeah Burnside,

thats exactly what my wife said as well, re. billy mac getting knocked out on the first impact.

We feared the worst as well, he was down, laid out still for a long time.

We saw him at Duns last weekend and he rode great, thought he was riding really solid and he still has GP speed. Would love to see him back in the Maxxis and GPs.

Bryan was in the box commentating with Malin for the second moto, must have been horrible seeing a family member crash like that.

As a side i thought Bryan was a great commentator, he was eloquent and corrected a few of Paul's gaffs lol

Billy Mac doesnt crash alot and land on people like Stewart does, so thats why he wont get near the shit Stewart gets.

Spoke earlier to Steve James LPE Kawasaki owner. Billy Macis very sore, was knocked out cold for several minutes. Taken to hospital for a check up & possible scan. They were constantly talking to him as he was feeling very sleepy.
Whilst at GP LPE Kawasaki's workshop in Barton on Humber was broken into Sat night and 7 team bikes plus mechanics own bike plus $80,000 dollars worth of spares inc 40 set of renthal twinwalls!
Sounds like thieves knew they would be away at GP.
If anyone has any info please PM me to pass onto Steve. We must stop these scum from wrecking our sport!

Actually now that you mention it I think this crash was totally Stewart's fault even though he wasn't there.

That track looks so damn fast and pretty hard to bodyslam on. Tough one.

I've done that before, not fun.

nobody was at fault for this, it was just a racing inciddent. I think Mackenzie assumed that Leok would do the triple because of the speed he was at but by the time he realised he wasnt going to, it was too late. Best of luck to both of them with their recovery.

Wow, you could see leok nearly went over the bars on the downhill before the uphill triple. If only he had tripled up like normal. damn hard hit.

Can't be compared to some of the bonehead moves stewart as has done. Leok done something out of the ordinary and missed the triple, James will move over and land on your head over a small double because he thinks he's the only one on the track.

Leok was actually tripling, it was Mackenzie who was quading up the jump.... most 450s were quading, only a couple of 250 guys were doing it....

apparently it was 4th gear tapped on a 450 so......

Apparently Leok missed a gear in the valley before jump, that's why he only tripled into it. After crash he staggered off track, he was on back of mechanic riding back to pits when he tapped him on back , said stop and collapsed on floor, like a delayed reaction from the heavy impact on his lower back spine. I was right there, it was damm scary.
