Motogp Crash.
Did anyone see this crash at the Mugello GP? It was Hector Barbera on the Aprilia 250, he was slipstreaming another bike down the straight but got too close and he pushed his front brake on as he nudged the bike in front! His front wheel locked up at 160mph and he walked (staggered) away... Lucky bugg@r!

Re: Motogp Crash..
 Holy sh*t!Amazing how the bike misses him, and that he seems to scrub off a lot of speed before he hit the wall. Scary to watch. I couldn't understand what happened, but reading the text it says the brake was jammed on when the bikes touched! |

The commentary at the time said that too. As the rider in front came across, he hit Barbera's brake lever causing it to jam on. |

Re: Motogp Crash..
seen many of those crashes over the years, brakes are that good you only need to bump another bike with your leaver and your over.

Re: Motogp Crash..
Indeed saw it. Very bad considering it was going over the line for the last lap!
