    British Superbikes

    Did anybody see the crash at the start of today's race?

    Now was that a crash and a half or what.

    For those of you who didn't, imagine what happens to a motorbike travelling at high speed when the fuel tank gets ripped open and explodes!

    Has anybody got an mpeg?

    Never seen a bike on fire before, i guess bikes are safer than cars in away, at least you fall off away from the fire. glad to hear everyone was ok

    Did love the way Nori Haga just watched the bike go past his front wheel like it was an everyday occurance

    Reminded me of one of the best photos of World Superbike when Yanagawa's Kwak fireballed after he spilled it into the gravel at Monza (can't remember the year). Awesome pic and everyone went home unsinged

    LOL, I went looking for that earlier but a google got me nowhere. I couldn't find any pictures of Colin Edwards doing his firework impression last year either, that was truly mad. If Yanagawa had crashed on race day rather than than in Friday practice it could have been very nasty.
