Bummer, looked like a great battle with the rider in the white/red leathers. Great video...really shows how fun these bikes are on the track. I can't wait.

ouchhh. just me or does it seem like the front end wobbles alot?

Well that had to suck!!!! Great race till the high side. Hope your o.k....What about the guy that low sided, looks like the rear went away.

First time seeing someone lose the rear on the 250s--it's usually the front on our 250s.

I didn't think the 250 has the guts to break the back wheel loose. Did something make contact with the ground and pick the back wheel off or did the back wheel spin from power?

He may have had too much lean and on the very edge of the tire when he gave it throttle. It doesn't take too much force to overcome a contact patch the size of a quarter!!!!!!

i'm confused... if you listen to it it almost sounds like the gas cut out or the rear brake got pushed or something... right as the rear goes the engine gets slower??? i may be a squidy but shouldn't it rev higher if it was breaking loose from power?

Squid pho sho.

Kinda hard to be rolling on the throttle when you're thrown off the bike.

Wow. Looked like a decent chase though...
