WOW! Looked like he was flat out on the track and half off the bike. Nice save indeed! But no use trying to save those BVD's! I bet he squirted mud!

Maybe he was going commando. Those leathers are toast for sure. Great save though. It amazes me how much they can compress a suspension and still ride.

Wow! My reaction would've been to tuck my elbow in and slide. Not use it as a crash bar!:blink:
