It only goes to show that the art is to stay relaxed - easier said than done!. The rider's arms remained bent and loose and allowed the bike to regain its natural line. Little bit of foot work to help things along.

I bet that barely caused a mild increase in his heart rate! I wonder what the average number of tankslappers per lap covered in road racing is? Surprisingly high I would imagine; for those riders it's part & parcel of their sport.

I hold motorcycle roadracers in the absolute highest regard

Bet it hurt

I reckon the old crown jewels probably got a clobbering!

Getting bucked out of the seat can hurt.

Ouch time.

Clip is probably of an Irish road race.

The commentator is broad Scots, but my teenage memories and the mention of the rider as Darren Lindsay show this to be an Irish road-race.
