Honda seem to have dropped the ball recently. Struggling to win in MotoGP, death inducing machine at the TT, and a slower roadbike than the competition.

And completely ******* up McLaren in F1

Woah! That looked out of control at times! He even went wide on one of the corners. Crazy fast all the way. Did it sound like the engine was struggling near the top of the course? Too rich with the lower density air perhaps...

How nice of him to stop and see if the guy was OK. Unless he was going for the emergency services, dunno.

You're not allowed to stop on a race track if there's an accident.

I didn't know a few weeks ago, seen a similar video and wondered why people just carried on and left the rider!

Stopped bikes on a live track presents opportunity to create more crashes plus, what can you do when you yourself are in full leather, helmet, probably aren't qualified etc etc. Better off just getting out of the way and letting the track officials deal with it.

How quickly it can all go south.

One · 16 Jul 2017 at 15:22

Compare when his riding when he went down with the riding at the start. Weird how easily it went down!

A small oil patch is all it takes when a bike is slightly lent over, the front just goes...

Does that bike have traction control? Would it even have helped in a situation like that?

Yes, no.

Nothing would have helped in that situation, except being more upright, but you just can't predict that

The bars sure did their job though!
