Indeed. They have 100+BHP these days!

I liked the look on the team boss's face at the end. All around him are screaming and covering their faces, he just shrugs and goes "oh well".

Meh. I did that once on my Raleigh Burner.









Amazing how he walked away.

Indeed, not too difficult to imagine when the 800's go over 200mph!

I'm surprised Simoncelli got away with that as he appeared to properly cut Barbera up to me.

My thoughts exactly. The Eurosport commentry team were of the same impression.

I was thinnking that. All the women, probably thinking about the rider thinking oh, hes going to be hurt, the boss thinking, bugger, theres another bike up the spout!

+1

Second to last lap, he would have knowen the slip streem slingshot was coming, so he tried to stop it by moving over, but got across too late. IMO

It is scary to think that it could happen on the road, time to invest in some hand guards!

I'd hope so, even my 12 year old road-legal 250 can crack 130, and that's with only 55 or so bhp on tap.

Remember that in the TT, 125s used to compete with 400s and 250s with 600s. Slow they are not.

The best example I can think of would be the big stack at the first corner of the Catalan MotoGP two years ago. Gibernau clipped Capirossi's bike with his brake lever and cartwheeled forwards into the gravel taking half the field with him. Possibly the most impressive crash I've seen since the late Norick Abe's exit from his 1994 debut at Suzuka
