    Ooooh.

    After a few more looks it does not look as bad I though - though he hit the top of his head, whereas it looks more like the front.

    Just as well...


    Was the guy alright?

    A far as I know is ok: obviously was a bit stunned after it though lol.

    Quite a few crashes at the race, course cut up very badly.

    Oww, poor guy. He looks pretty dazed from that accident and don't blame him that's an impressive hit. Maybe he could also sideline as a boxer.

    Even with a full facer on, I was surprised he got straight up ! A good reminder to wear a decent helmet....

    I like the moment @ 21 secs when he looks at the bike and quite clearly thinks, "You know what, I'm not getting back on the bike, I think I'll have a wee sit down instead"

    Yep, definitely an opportunity to take a little breather.
