Watch today's WSBK race 1 Maxime Bergers Crash. Living proof of why not to use mag wheels
SPOILER ALERT : DONT CLICK IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO WATCH THE RACE!!!!!!
Just an FYI. It was determined later in the race that the mag wheel exploded due to a stress fracture. The commentators were unaware of this during the incident.

"The actual result was the rear hub shearing from the spokes and rather than the wheel failure taking place at a high-speed, like the catastrophic crash that left Robert Dunlop with severe injuries at the 1994 Isle of Man TT, Berger was lucky to escape uninjured at a slow corner."

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Do you have a link for this? I'm curious, and can't find anything confirming it was a mag. wheel.

If you watch the whole race, the eurosport commentators mention later than it was a mag wheel.

The scuttlebutt is that wheel was on it's 3rd or 4th season.
Not sure which is more shocking: The failure or the fact that a team was running the same wheels for 3 or 4 seasons

"The wheel that failed had only been used in a few races," team manager Daniele Soncini said.
