That Marquez guy has no talent-- unreal save

Really, I mean honestly. This kid is unreal.

 

M-o-o-n

 

Even when he goes down, he doesn't go down. Stoner got out at a good time.

 

And the fact that he is lofting the front wheel on the way out makes me giggle.

 

Holy crap.

I just had a Simo flashback. Maybe it was the other thread that has him on my mind, but I was expecting to see video of a something different.

I figured it happened to Simo because he was so big he could be sandwiched between the bike and the ground and the bike would still have traction. Now that it's happening with the tiny guys it's sort of scary.

Looking again, there is no reason that bike should have recovered. Not taking anything away from MM, but I don't think rider skill had a whole lot to do with the bike recovering.

 

Unreal.

I'm really starting to buy into the, elbows being used to save front-end crashes, theory he references.

 

I beg to differ and so does David Emmett

" Marquez had the presence of mind to open the throttle a little. This was just enough to lift the back back onto its wheels, and have both tires grip again. Half-hanging off the bike, Marquez opened the throttle some more, the bike's momentum hauling it upright, and Marquez could pull himself back into the saddle. It is an amazing save, with a fair sprinkling of luck and a massive dose of talent."

And often stated, but rarely used adage; When in doubt, GAS IT!

 

But not Al(varo)-Italia style.

Proper credit here:

 

This.

 

Wouldn't the guy with talent not have crashed at all? Just sayin....

 

Is there a link somewhere to the crash sequence that is not on the book of faces?

 

I'm still thinking the fact that the bike and tires allow for crazy lean angles had more to do with it. I will give you once it popped back up for him to be able to "gas it" and haul himself up was pretty damn impressive.

That first pic though is a rider already figuring out how he's going to pick the bike up and if he'll be able to ride it back to the pits.

I'll try to remember that the next time I'm about to low side

Actually. I wonder if what saved it was turning the front wheel more to the right. That allowed the front of the tire to contact the road and pop the bike back up.

Usually when you see a low side, the front tire first turns into the low side then straightens out as the bike starts to slide away.

Rule #2 should then be turn harder into the turn

 

Yeah, in the first thread where it was posted today.

 

Yea, it's in the Brno thread.

Something tell me this kid had a lot of practice with these recoveries and it may bring to light the need for more dirt in developing this type of wonder.

 

Favorite Meme of all time. I can actually see myself telling my son this one day.

 

Anyone else remember this one, which didn't quite work out?

Sometimes I think that if my brain wasn't so cluttered with useless motorsport stuff, I could have found the cure for cancer.

 

Reminds me of the Jamie hacking save a few years back...

 

No...I don't recall her dragging shoulder and trying to make a save.
