Usually you see a foot go down first, but a hand?

How did that crash happen? I heard scraping, but a ZX10R should be able to lean a lot more than that.

He freaked and let go of the throttle, the throttle closed and the bike laid down. Is short he out rode his ability not the bikes.

Yup, to my mind a tad hot in, a tad too tight in the corner & having to use a closed or neutral throttle, either way no drive, front loads, tarmac git's a slappin, he sits up on the bike & makes the situation worse.

if you look at 0.54s he has a reasonable lean on, I think his peg or toe touched down, he gave himself a fright, let go of the throttle to put his hand down from panic and closed the throttle sealing the deal.

Moral of the story: never back off the throttle while cornering. It's something that I've been guilty of too many times.

His rear wheel starts to slide out. I think that's why he eases off the throtle. Where he first disappears from view it almost seems as if he's got it under control though upright, but them he spears off onto the inside of the curve.

Yup, a good indication of testicular fortitude. Look were you want to go & keep the gas on. Trick is to go into a turn at the right speed in the first place.

The throttle is your friend has become a bit of a Mantra in our house, admittedly the combined horsepowers of our bikes is way less than that chaps Kwaka.

Another good reason to control with the inside arm, and leave the outside loose.

I find, backing off in a corner is a result of failure to plan the corner; so you've fucked up whether you close the throttle or not.
