If they were on Ducati dirtbikes they should use it for marketing… “so mean our ex GP winners can’t even stay on them!”
They weren't on CR500's. I know this since they are still breathing. If it was a 2t bike my guess is an 80. These new kids just don't know how to ride bikes with power bands and no electro-digikals.
I hate to say it but at some point, it becomes an idiot test. I mean, your high-level livelihood is on the line. This sport eats guys up and spits them out when it comes to injuries. Being fondly remembered as one of the greats doesn't put money in your bank account.
Petrucci has said that he is lucky to be alive and he thought he wasn’t going to survive the crash. Just wow.
