Was goin to say that legz regarding the crash that he wasnt thrown into the path but on the out of control bike.

Well i stand corrected on the T/C on bss & wss bikes.  Im sure I read an advert for sam lowes ex bss winning bike & that had traction control & all the gismos.

it was by its very name a tragic "accident", i'm not convinced that any electronics (or lack of them) would have changed the outcome..................

in reality it was most likely caused by his huge talent, daft as this may sound, as the rest of us mere mortals would have simply lost it and exited stage left, NOPE Sic had the talent and balls to pick the bike up with his knee which then unforunately allowed the front wheel to grip and shoot him the opposite direction..............
