      That's a fantastic track for bikes, better than many. The bike got airborne on a hill top curve, seems bikes have gotten to fast for that part of the track.
      Bikes and cars have gotten too fast for safety on a lot of tracks.
      All the track mods needed for MotoGP and WSB has eliminated many tracks from international eligibility.

        Yes, impressive save, and one that I can't imagine would easily be anticipated nor trained for.

          Holy wobble, Batman!

          I know I couldn't come through that with dry panties. I'm talking about just watching it from my couch.
