The front wheel is even off the ground in the one picture that he is still hanging off the bike while he is straightening it up.
 
That was a saved lowside. No clue how he managed to save that though!
 
Pshhhh easy, I do that all the time. The only small difference is that my bike does not come back up.

Which means of course that a fraction of a second after he levered the thing back up off the deck with his knee and elbow, he was already pinning it... :cool:
 
I did that once and then left the bike to do its own thing whilst I slid beside it.
 
Years ago while being poor and in the military I had a Suzuki GT 750 with those huge crash bars. My tyres were not too sticky either and as I took a corner in Pretoria my tyres let go and I slid around the corner in a spectacular fashion with lots of sparks. Once around the corner I still had forward motion and viola she picked up and I went off as if nothing happened, much to the apparent awe of the pedestrians. Fortunately our uniforms were in Nutria Brown those days. :cool:

His setup looked off the whole race, like he just couldn't get the weight on the front, or way too much pressure in the front tyre, in the fast corners you could see his front tyre moving back and forth like a dirt sprint car. Amazing save, I think he even surprised himself with that one.
It was great watching him pull the Ducati's around in qualifying, Gi Gi has almost got that program turned around.
