It was a thing of beauty. Just when you think he couldn't possibly come up with new stuff, he does something like that.
It looked like his own bike hit him in midair after ejecting him. I wouldn't say he didn't get nailed.
He should really consider joining the PBR, where sponsors appreciate a rider who gets flicked off like a booger, ran over, and slammed to the ground and keeps coming back for more. I can see it now............"Comin' up on Domesday, is Ruben Xaus This ol' boy can wreck an arena floor better than a retart on a backhoe." "I know it but, thank God we have somebody to test the safety gear."
I would love to see a Xaus highlight reel. Maybe with a crash cost ticker at the bottom of the screen.
Damn, I see 'ol Ruben is a bit of a fighter too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JqSl2_O5Ho&feature=related
No dice on the highlight reel but I did find a cost ticker here http://www.usdebtclock.org/ , although I'm not sure why the gubment is so concerned.
Will not make the race due to injury in FP1. http://www.crash.net/world+superbikes/news/173553/1/grid_down_to_18_as_xaus_withdraws.html One of the comments says the throttle stuck.
