Thorough job, that one...
Race Mechanics just love it when a bike comes back like that... especially if they're using the "only one bike" rule, meaning that they have to either rebuild that one or build another one before the rider can get back out again. We had something similar with the Phase One junior team at Vallelunga in 2003, we had a rider (who shall remain nameless but is currently riding in BSB) lined up to race with us for the first time and he lobbed the bike spectacularly in Friday afternoon practice, the only thing salvageable was the engine. As our Fueller Chubby put it "you know it's a big one when it comes back with gravel inside the tyres..." ::) ::) ::)
Wow looks lucky not to have sustained serious injuries.
