This happened during this past round of WSBK…:ahh
I was a bit scared to click that after reading the video title… LOL
Was that a SSSA bike?
yeah, but if you look closely it is the wheel that actually broke not the hub.
yeah big time wheel failure.
Dayum
I was just thinking that in a dual sided swing arm the week would have at least stayed in place under the tail.
But no matter what he would have been going down.
At least this happened in a perfect turn and when he was all the way over with plenty of room and not at the end of the straight.
The guy behind him has super human reflexes.
I have never seen that happen before. Crazy!
???
You can see the wheel start to fail as he is exiting the corner. Crazy. Then pop, and there it goes lol.
Beat me to it.
Insane!
Can’t wait to see what kind of hell is raised towards the wheel manufacturer!
Who is the wheel manufacturer for this?
Looks to me like the orange sticker says OZ Racing.
More pics…
Honestly, god knows how old is that wheel and if it was from a bike that crashed before.
Spectacular pictures :wow
Looks like a weak point was just one spoke and the rest couldn’t pick up the slack /obvious
