Do we know TC was on?
I certainly dont think it would stop them from happening just wondering if it helps, if racers are using it and how, or why not.
But that is a terrifying pic. Serious High side!....was he injured?
thats Jorge Lorenzo on a GP bike. GP bikes cant really be ridden without TC. I don't rem if he broke some specifically from that crash. but he suffered from ankle injuries nearly that whole year.
u won't be able to find a pro racer that doesnt use TC, unless the regulations don't allow it. its becoming more and more prevalent at amateur races as well. even my older R6 that didnt come with TC has a mild form in its fancy flash. it can make any rider faster if tuned well. but thats a big 'if'.
No, with modern GP tech, this photo is actually taken 2 minutes after the event. The GP Stasis field kicks on waiting for EMS to come turn it off. They put padding underneath the riders for them to fall on.
so helpful :thumbdown
