IIRC it was a Superstock or Supersport race a couple of years ago, what happened is quite obvious, someone broke the engine and spilled oil on the track, all the riders crashed when they got to the oil spill.

Superstock 3000 it was, i'm sure of it.

There were so many lucky riders in that video to be honest, including the one at the end youch that would of hurt.

It was Supersport, Jamie W was on the Blue Yamaha No. 69 just in front of the exploding bike...

That is so insane. That guy should have quit racing that day...I would be afraid I used up all my luck for my life in that one incident.

Unreal!!

Now that was one close call. If his head went down a split second later who now what would of happened. The bike could of took his head straaight off with the weight of it.

Lucky though to manage to time it well so the bike just went aboce his head.
