Marc Marquez's unintentional dismount in qualifying was apparently clocked at 209.9mph. So he's got his first record - the fastest ever crash in the top class of motorcycle racing. His airbag suit recorded two peaks of 25g, but the true impact may have been higher - that's as high as the datalogging reads!
I hope he's not the next Simoncelli, but he's (nearly) as exciting to watch.
They're all :stupid:

Skin graft job i've heard.
He lives about 10 miles away from me. My uncle has done a fair bit of welding for him, mainly pit boards.

Me and my wife drove down to Florence last week in my Audi TTS Roadster. It was one of the best driving experiences I have ever had. After an overnight stop in Dijon, most of the rest of the way was with the top down, via the St Bernard tunnel, lovely weather and stunning scenery. Another overnight in Rapallo and on to Florence to meet up with my son and his girlfriend who came down from Munich, and my daughter and her partner who flew over.
Whilst the intention of this was a stay in a villa in Florence with my family, the main reason for me was a trip, with my son, to Mugello to watch the MGP. If you are reading this, you will know the results by now. But I would like to say that this is a trip that is well worth doing, both for the journey itself, and the atmosphere at Mugello. :notworthy:
I was as gutted as everyone else there when Rossi crashed three bends in, not the best birthday present I have ever had, but it was a good race anyway, particularly as Lorenzo won. Unfortunate that Marqes crashed whilst in a safe second place, with only a couple of laps to go, but it gave Crutchlow a still well deserved podium. Redding winning Moto2 was great too, in practice one of his pit boards had said "breathe" and in the race it said "want it." I think he did! :congrats:
Driving, or should that be fighting, with the Italians is an experience itself, it certainly adds spice to the trip. Florence is worth a visit, as is Pisa and Lucca, but, to use the word that the commentator used to describe Crutchlow, MotoGP at Mugello is " fantastico" If you are a bike race fan, and enjoy driving, this trip is a must. Give it a go.
