Apparently he's OK, but I don't think Guy does anything that isn't 'spectacular'!

Doesn't look too good?
I though these bikes came with some traction control?
Hope he recovers quickly!sigpicJohn Kat

He had no chance to catch that.
If he had traction control, it must have been turned off.Comment

He's fortunate he wasn't dealing with walls & trees! Hope he's OK.-Mal

He'll miss some racing, but he's resilient, for sure!

Indeed, looks more serious than first reports indicated. Good prognosis hopefully...

I couldn't see how he lost control as it looks like he made the corner very well but the fact the bike stood up makes me think he hit the brakes?Cowboy Up or Quit. - Run Free Lou and Rest in Peace

No, it doesn't look like that at all. Too much throttle too soon would be my guess.Comment

yes, a little too much power, his back wheel is spinning on exit
the bike stood up when the rear wheel regained traction .....typical high side

Thanks for posting. I tried to find out more information on his condition yesterday, but couldn't find much. My buddy, who was there, told me today that he had broken a few bones. Cracked vertebrae, that's a bit close! I'm about midway through his autobiography from last year. I wish him the best.

Traction control helps, but does not completely eliminate wheel spin. You see the same thing in MotoGP, and they have the very best traction control, probably tuned to each track. The crash may not have been an error either. Some condition on the track may have caused the lack of traction. Guy probably won't remember, and I don't know if those bikes have enough telemetry to figure it out. But even world class riders can make mistakes. I hope he makes a full recovery. I'm always rooting for him when I get to see him ride.Dogma

Absolutely, although from my angle the first looks to be checking airways and the second locking the helmet to prevent any movement. Maybe wishful thinking on my part but the boys up North know their onions when it comes to motorsports.Originally posted by Nessism View PostLast edited by Brendan W; 08-08-2015, 05:02 AM.97 R1100R
