    God that made my entire body hurt.

    The fuck happened? Looked like the front brake locked up on him.

    Vicious. Looks like he had a slapper just before touching the brakes. Might have pushed the pads back, and he had to pump the brakes to make them work, and when the pads came back it was abrupt.

    That was wild the way he did a gentle corkscrew roll in the air. That had to be an Oh Shiiiit moment like none other.

    They just posted an update with the Dr. on motogp.com, looks to be no serious trauma although they still have to perform a CT scan. Close one, always tough to see a crash like that. They do have him sedated for pain.

    Looked like he went unconscious after the first big hit.
