Not the best images in the world. But caught this action from the main stand in Portimao for the World superbikes and thought "Rather Him than Me"
without the flat.....

Portamio is the craziest circuit ever...like Greg Martin would say "Its a Man's track..for men" LOL

and glad it was his rear...
front would have caused a bad crash :(

Vittorio Iannuzzo managed to spot without too much incident...

Unlike Xaus, who was sat just behind Checa when his Ten Kate Honda expired (saw that), slipped on his trailing oil, leaving him with another break in his right leg. Hasn't been his year.

I have seen several F1 cars overtake in the air after bumping wheels like that. I can't understand that the second guy don't went flying. The back wheel of the first bike is an awesome catapult trying to lift the front wheel of the second bike.

Man, was that intentional by the guy in green coming up from the back?

Awesome shots
