Good riding or luck?

[outlawtorn]

you tell me, this looks like a bit of both......does anyone know which rider it is?

Good luck more than good management. "That's the bigest nearly accident I have ever seen" was quoted by one comintator.

DeAngelies was the name said in the video. 250 Aprilia.
So I take it that it was Alex de Angelis

It was luck... can't remember if it was the 06 or 05 season... names have completely gone out of my head, but chupa chups teamate was leading, with chupa chup in third...

Just the 2fiddy's up to their usual games :Punk:

Good luck more than good management.

While I agree there was a huge amount of luck involved....lesser riders would've binned it.

It's amazing how many REALLY close 'moments' the top guys can and do save.

Yep, that was good luck in my books. Once on the grass it was more up to rider skill (also luck of course). Intense.

Luck or no, it's still brown trousers time~

[kiwifruit]

all rider skill there IMO

[BarBender]

all rider skill there IMO

I agree with Kiwi...he did everything that he should have done to save that situation... right.

[NighthawkNZ]

blah... twas only a nearly... no fun.... though skills

[Macktheknife]

I remember seeing that! it was IMO almost all skill, luck always plays a part though!

[Ghost_Bullet]

Bloody awesome, luck or otherwise... a great clip to watch...

It was the riders skills and experiance that alowed him to take advantage of the options that luck gave him.
