[Brian d marge]

and the gormless witham saying it was a nut that came off when u could CLEARLY see it was a wheel failure

Now what I want to see is a close up shot of the break , I looks like no. five is a brittle failure. How long has that wheel been used??
is my next question ( assuming it Magnesium )

I think that is pretty harsh, even though I had it in HD I replayed it multiple times in slow mo and still couldn't tell if the center of the wheel was still in tact or not. Pretty scary though, he was flippen lucky it happened at the slowest point on the track. If it happened going into turn 1 or the esses it could have been very bad indeed!

Well I have it one low res, Internet and can clearly see , if fact as I was watching that the first time , thought that wheel is broken , then witham saying ...nut off , rewind ..nope broken

I think he spoke to quickly

dont get me wrong I like witham , esp when he said what ever shes selling Ill have 3 bags luv

but in this case ,,,whoops

Stephen

ps if you look at the wheel just before it goes out of shot , u can see the shiny bit where the spokes are broken but the dark bit in the centre is clearly to large to be a hub , which should have been there if the nut had come off

Magnesium is good stuff but it does have its drawbacks , cracking is I think one ( from memory )

And to think i turned down a set of Carbon BSTs as i was concerned how they would stand up to life on our roads.Didnt think that would be possible with mag.

That "whoosh" sound you just heard was the joke flying well above your bonce.

You just got pwned by Katman, Go and sit in the corner.

This has to be one hell of a moment for the rider on the Ducati and the guy behind.

Can we still insert the video and how do we do it? It's been a long time and I've forgotten how.

usually under the video on youtube it has embed button, click on that and it will show you a couple lines of code, copy and paste the cods into your reply and you're done!

This'd be the 4th (or even 5th?) thread started on this in the last 2-3 days.

All good though, it's pretty crazy.

There is a comment on the youtube video that the rider behind had made contact with this guys rear through the corner where it looked like he was out accelerating the bike in front.

I'd like to know what was going through the riders head... okay there's a vibration what's happening.... he'd have run through his mental checklist and the wheel coming off just wouldn't be on the list. When the wheel poppe and the rear hit the ground you'd be thinking something had happened to the suspension.
