I had read this yesterday...and I think the explanation was pretty well stated in the article...
....In analyzing the crash, Swiss police believe Maier saw the speed camera approaching, and locked up the brakes on his motorcycle while attempting to lower his speed before he went through trap. Losing control of his bike, Maier almost lost his license in the process. Had Maier been traveling just 3 km/h faster through the speed sensors, his license would have automatically been suspended. Surely going over the 110 km/h initially, there must be at least a small consolation from that news, though we imagine Majer’s pride must sting a bit still....
