Nic capture. Looks like the 2 of the 3 photographers in the background are stuck in gawk mode.

Clearly the image is blur, but is the pilot ok?

compound fracture of the right leg (tib/fib) hes had a couple of operations and will be out for the rest of the season.

Good capture, its a pity some others weren't awake when this happened.
Local rumour is that he had a number of operations to save his leg, he lives locally to me & was often seen Cycling around the villages.

The excuse from Josh Brookes , who ran into him, was brake failure. However, the team said telemetry show everything fine before the Medbourne hairpin, and the brakes were ok when the bike was returned to the pits. For those of you who didn't see this, the crash happened on the sighting lap, i.e. the lap from the pits to the grid. Brookes made a mistake it would be big of him to admit it.

Nice...glad to hear he will be aright. You guys seam to have a lot of good bike racing to shoot.
