CLOSE SHAVE
A lot of people have already been asking me about what happened with Casey’s near miss, when that huge head-shake from his bike saw him run off into the gravel and nearly crash. While it’s not something you see often, the extremely sensitive nature of a MotoGP bike means that something like this is always on the cards. I’ve had the same thing happen to me when I was racing. It even caused me to crash on at least one occasion. It’s a pretty scary thing, let me tell you. It happens when the bike hits a bump or series of bumps in the track at very high speed. But that’s not the only contributing factor. Maybe your weight is distributed in a slightly different way to normal, and maybe the front wheel is aligned, for a split second, in a slightly different angle than normal when it hits the bump. It’s like when all the planets align to cause the prime conditions for the bike to become severely unsettled.
The massive shake then causes the brake pads to get knocked back in the calipers, so when it comes time to grab the brake, nothing happens. That means you have to pump the brake lever hard again. But by now the pads have returned to their normal position and there’s a good chance you’ll go flying over the handlebars, or as in Casey’s case, have the back wheel jump violently off the road. As we all saw, he did an amazing job to save it. He also did an amazing job to put a very frightening incident behind him to finish third. I know he looked a bit disappointed at the end, but I reckon he should be extremely pleased with his save, as well as the fact he still leads the championship by a fair margin. At this level of racing, you can’t win ‘em all.
