That’s got to be a concussion. See if he ends up riding again for this test.

That's a nasty face plant, thank heavens the helmet chin piece did it's job.

yorik67.bsky.social•26 days ago

Ouch!

spikey728.bsky.social•26 days ago

Ooooffff, that's going to tickle. Hope he's ok, especially after his heads impact with the tarmac. Hopfully that A* helmet did it's job well.

edlalu.bsky.social•26 days ago

My head is going to ache for days having see that face plant.

Super awkward and ugly. Helmet paying it's way. Getting up to speed on a new bike is a challenge for even the highly gifted. Hope he's OK.

Knocked out?

ceesoldekeizer.bsky.social•26 days ago

Horrible. Hope he’s okay.
Thank you for the good work!

I've had the pleasure of high-side crashes multiple times. So scary - he hit his head hard.

I'm so poor I always worry about my motorcycle, but then when I'm in the hospital and subsequent physio, I realize it's the body that's most important to preserve!

That is a horrible landing 🥺

Thanks for your nagging service 🙏

Head obviously impacted, but did the airbag go off?

johnflores.bsky.social•26 days ago

OOF. Hope he's ok....

djpurchase.bsky.social•26 days ago

Haven’t seen a high side like that in a while!

There have been a few strange cold tyre off throttle highsides. They're rare, but they do happen.

Ouch that was nasty. Really nasty.

I guess that MotoGP absence from this platform means we can post as many videos as we want without fear of copyright infringement 😉
