Default Help Needed - Rider Almost Hitting Pit Wall At Finish

How do,

Last season (I think) a rider almost hit the pit wall in celebration, but I can't remember who it was. I can't even remember what class he was in, or what the track was either!
I have a suspicion that it was 125 or 250GP

Someone at work thinks it was Leon Haslam, but I am certain it wasn't an english rider. I am thinking Bautista or Pol Espagaro and Philip Island for some reason.

Very vague I know, but there it is.

Can anyone remember this or did I imagine it?

Bautista flipped his bike while celebrating at Brno last year!

Here's a link to some pictures, although Dorna have taken down the videos.

It wasn't the Bautista flip, the rider was crossing the finish line and pulled over towards the wall. I seem to remember clouds of dust.

Very fitting considering your forum name
