Tom M Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 From http://hellforleathermagazine.com/2010/06/photos-guy-martins-fiery-tt-cr.html#more "The crash occurred at Glen Vine on Guy's third lap, a fast left/right section of the course. According to eyewitness reports, guy lost the front end at about 150mph, causing his bike to slide down the road at high speed. The racer reportedly separated from the bike early in the crash, before it caught on fire, meaning he was on the fringes of this deadly fireball."
raz Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 Holy cow. He can consider himself lucky, expecting full recovery!
Admin Jaap Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Looks like a Hollywood explosion! Glad he came out okay.
The Monkey Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 Unreal amount of fuel, looks like a plane wreck. Lucky he didnt get charred. That pole the track hand is hiding behind suddenly doesnt look so secure!
Tom M Posted June 17, 2010 Author Posted June 17, 2010 WTF is this, a UFO taking off? Maybe it's the fuel tank? I find it amazing that he survived a 150mph fall on a public road. Thankfully Guy's injuries aren't too bad, and no spectators or course workers were hurt. I hope they show this years TT on TV here in the US soon. Four or five hour long shows from last years race are still being rerun on HDT cable TV channel. Guy Martin cracks me up even though I only understand about 1/3 of what he's saying. McGuiness's leathers still make me smile whenever I see the reruns too.
