That was so fast I doubt the rider had time to clench.

Should be on an advert for razors coz that a very close shave.

Why is it that at the end of the video, after he dodges the other rider on the ground...He just kinda keeps going. You'd figure he'd stop and help...but maybe he's on his way to buy a lottery ticket. Obvs. his lucky day.

Its part of a race. The riders aren't there to provide medical or marshalling expertise, that's what the Marshalls are there for. Having another rider and bike stopped on track is more dangerous for everyone.

Ahh, my bad. I wasn't sure if this was an ACTUAL race, or just 2 guys doing what guys do. In that case, I agree.....

Should still buy a lotto ticket though.
