I Feel Slightly Better ..

… about crashing that is.  In a recent article posted on Superbike Planet, Julian Ryder talks about Jorge Lorenzo's recent highside:

"So how come Jorge Lorenzo managed to replicate the classic 500cc-era highside crash on the first day of the Chinese GP? It was a slow-speed crash but Jorge was flicked a long way up in the air, at one point he was doing a handstand six feet above the tarmac. It let go as he picked the bike up from the long, long righthanded first corner and pitched it into the only slightly shorter left that is the second turn, the rear tyre skidding out to the right as it was asked to provide some grip on the left side. It was in fact a classic cold tyre crash."

On an unrelated note, both Jorge and I wear the same number 48.
