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 :

I reckon the old crown jewels probably got a clobbering!

Getting bucked out of the seat can hurt.

Ouch time.:

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.
