AT&T Presents "You make the call".

The track keeps going left there, not straight.

 

Doesn't seem to comport with rule 1 for passing.

 

Being on the outside is not without risk.

 

924?

I think ultimately it boils down to two things:
1) Rider Ahead made a bonehead move and did not ride predictably
2) Rider Behind was the one passing at the moment of collision, and thus had the responsibility to "make it clean".

You're not wrong to be ticked about the boneheaded line, but that shit happens.

 

Inside rider lost Balls Mid Turn.... Still up to Punctured Lung rider to pass in a safe Manner since he was behind them... ...

And BTW, Since when are R6's allowed in Clubman???

 

All my road racing was on Bicycles. Large packs, close quarters, etc.

From the very first time I watched the short vid, I thought that the inside rider, who just over took the outside rider, suddenly went way wide- as if an 'oh shit, I'm in too hot', and went wide instead of taking his inside line on the corner.

I'm no one however, so my critique really doesn't count.

 

Rule 1 to me, and what is hammered in the rider's meeting is "Passing rider's responsibility to make a safe pass."

If the pass was made, and the rider behind is off the throttle, how does that inside bike come back so quickly.

Other rider deleted Instagram vid so can't show that.

 

it looks like the inside rider got hard(er) on the brakes after they come into frame. u can see the fork compress a bit further. its almost as if they gave up trying to make the corner and started to go straight.

 

The inside entrance to turn 2 (tight left on the paint) at Pacific is the classic "Sully line" (Mike Sullivan). There used to be a series of bumps at the entrance, so the two fast lines were way outside for corner speed or deep inside with heavy braking. Mike liked to pass on the brakes right there, so maybe the passing rider was going for the tight inside line and got spooked and stood it up?

And if I were the passing rider, I wouldn't expect to have the "just passed" rider turn in on me after they broke so early for that turn, based on my experience (in both situations).

 

1. She's riding a borrowed bike.

I'm not ticked about the crash at all. It's the posting of it with assigned blame that night while the dude is in the ER.

 

"racing incident"

 

It looks to me like the inside rider ran wide, but without knowing the make up of the corner, I do not know if that is the natural line through there or not.

 

Given the small clip...I'd have to agree with Knotcher. Looks like inside bike blew the corner trying to keep from being passed and gave up on it taking out camera bike.

 

Did the guy on the inside just decide not to turn the motorcycle?

 

Oh, is this Katie's crash?

 

not in the least!


not even sure that so called 'pass' was intended, looks to me like that rider was not paying attention or has concentration issues. appears there was no attempt at all to turn.

was that the first lap?
