Title: Silly crash question ****SPOILER**** Post by: eltristo on June 01, 2008, 02:39:28 PM Spoiler for SLC race to follow. Read at your own risk!!!!
I was watching the SLC WSB race today, and in lap 5 Bayliss had a nice little mishap. The announcer called it a highside, though it certainly didn't seem that way to me. So, options: A- It was a highside, cause the event leading up to the crash would normally have resulted in his body being thrown over the bike, he just managed to hold on for a split second longer and landed on the inside. Announcer was right. B- It was a lowside. Look where he fell. Announcer is a dumb-dumb. C- It was a lowside. The announcer was caught up in the moment and just called something out in the heat of it all. Any thoughts?

Not as bad as Lorenzo's in MotoGP practice in China a couple of weeks ago ( a true classic ). Still a high side never the less. Go back and watch it again.
