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.

You can see the wheel start to fail as he is exiting the corner. Crazy. Then pop, and there it goes lol.
