Cuz he's kinky. I told him once that if he isn't careful, he'd scrap his elbow or f- it up. Well what did he do? He scrapped his elbow around a corner and crashed.

Its really because of his riding style more than dragging an elbow ever once in a while.Even when he is not in a corner,his elbows stick out further than the usual stance and some riders made the comment that it was sometimes hard to pass him because they were afraid his elbows might hit their brake lever.

As you can see, it's not by choice his elbows drag. He's just too big to fit in these tiny cockpits.

As you can see he's in good company though!

He just needs to learn from Nicky. Get that inside shoulder farther off the bike Ben! Turn your torso away from the bike so your inside arm has to straighten to make the longer reach. Pretend like you're trying to keep your torso parallel to the track. Even I know how to ride within the confines of my size!
