:EDIT: Just saw the video online. Makes my stomache hurt....
Yea it was awful. Speed showed it at noon today, but for some reason it was still showing it being the moto2 from indy according to the info. Only reason I realized it was todays was because of the announcers mentioning it at the end of the motogp race.

no it was shoya's that was dropped. in comparison, SBK race one haslam binned and took corser with him and they red flagged before lap one was completed. theres just too many damn bikes in 2. make me wonder if all the crashing has desensitized the officials. sickening

Maybe it is a DORNA thing, I remember Daijiro Katoh's crash they piled him on a stretcher the same way. WSBK looks to have the better technique...Advantage FIM!
