That was gut-wrenching to watch. So thankful he is OK and will race in Japan in 2 weeks.

i think he was quoted as saying he tried to time the jump right. It did not look like it. Thank goodness it was not as bad as it looked.

Are these guys falling more this season? I don't remember this much carnage. Sure messes with your championship hopes. I didn't see how Hayden got himself off the track. I wonder why he didn't lay it down. I guess if he could have, he would have.

They have always crashed like crazy. Its always something when you are on the edge. I believe on average, MotoGP racers crash once a weekend or so. Jeesh, I crash twice in one year and I am ruined psychologically. I don't know how they do it.

You guys watch the Moto2 race. That is the best racing around.

Moto2 race was amazing. I read the Moto3 race was even better, but haven't watched it yet. The Red Bull Rookies race saw the top 10 finishers within one second!

Hayden's wreck was weird, just cuz it looked like he'd slowed down enough to barely tap the fence. These guys haul ass. Glad Nicky is OK.
Man, I love that Aragon track. I think that's on my bucket list of tracks to see. Moto2 is just unbelievable. Those young kids at the sharp end of the grid are absolutely fearless. Can't imagine what it's like for their parents to watch them rubbing paint like that.
