Topic: Scary MotoGP Moment with video

[rrocket]

 I didn't start a MotoGP thread this year because I'm the only guy who seems to watch the best top tier racing series on the planet...

But today, there was such a close call. In the section of the Red Bull Ring where they top out at 310km/h then brake to 50 km/h, two bikes came together at roughly 300. The bikes kept going and flew across the track sans rider.

Somehow, impossibly, the bikes jusssst missed Vinales and Rossi. Had either been hit, it likely would have been the worst outcome. Somehow the bikes just missed either. I mean..if either are a tenth of a second slower/faster, they are in serious trouble.

Check out the crazy video...

I was just looking for that video.  MotoGP pulls them off  youtube pretty quickly.

Crazy lucky Rossi

Vinales too!

Zarco made a stupid move...went wide, and not wanting to cede position to Morbidelli, cut in front of him. Morbidelli got pulled in the slipstream and zero time to brake.

This could have been disaster..

man that was close...like literally inches away from disastrous.

That's insane.

I went to the video but there is a message:  "This is a private video. Please sign in to verify that you may see it."  I didn't bother signing in.  I have a low tolerance for this sort of thing.

What is so secret about it?

Quartararo had a pretty hard spill during FP3 this weekend. Had to go to medical center at the track

Yea, he was already a bit stiff (hip) from a high speed low side the day before..

But he dug deep and ended up on pole on Sat.
