he's on a 450 single. That class was a pretty wide range of bikes. The 450's have much more hp, but the well setup 250's with fast riders on them seem to do just fine.

He lost the rear. I was totally expecting to see a front end tuck.

ps, hope he's ok.

If it were that simple then I don't think that it would have flung around to the front. I think his front touched the bike in front of him and so he got tossed in a spin.

Lost the rear as the tires weren't yet warm enough. He got caught out by the schedule and didn't have time to get them on warmers before heading out to the grid.

Rider down is Max Capps. Broke some lumbar spine. Went straight to grid from the pits. If he didn't lose it in one he would have in two. Should have laid back for a bit. The Guy taking the Video won the race. I brought Max's bike back to the pits for him and he seemed ok but was not all there. The foot peg from Mark McKinney's bike went through Max's leathers and cause a nasty looking bulge (like a head coming out of his stomach). Mark Went over the handle bars and landed on his head. Walked away with only muscle damage.
