[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 785629, member: 6354"] It was on at noon Eastern Sunday. My DVR software on my PC thought it was a repeat, also, so I missed the beginning of the race, tuned in literally seconds before the crash. Wasn't even seated, yet. That was a [I]nasty[/I] crash. No one has described it, so for those who didn't see it, I will. I was actually more worried for the other 2 riders after seeing it, because they went flying, but on first sight I hadn't realized that they both actually ran over Tomizawa, at maybe 140mph. The cause was just a simple lowside by Tomizawa, he ran wide and got his front wheel over the curb and onto the grasskrete/painted area, whatever is behind the curb. At that point it wasn't any big deal, really, but de Angelis and Redding had absolutely nowhere to go, being less than a bike length apart in line. I literally do not recall the rest of the race, just couldn't pay attention to it, even though I watched it through. [/QUOTE]
