Default Great on-board video

On-board race with a '09 R1. Leader looks to be on a new BMW. Watch towards the end as he gets passed and then the guy lows sides two corners later

YouTube - Part 1 - Sprintrace X-Day Zolder - 13/06/2009 - R1 2009

Great example of non-target fixation when the other guy low sides in the esses, and our video pilot avoids both bike and rider. How many times have we seen a following rider follow the bike or rider into the gravel...

May be a dumb comment but his gearing choice is spot-on for that track.
