    I am looking for information. I ride a yellow and red Ducati #522. Did anyone see my crash? I am trying to put the pieces together on what happened. Thanks

    turn 9 correct? entering the turn you ended up on the outside of the track?

    we only heard it i was on the corner by the pit in and out sitting down.

    we saw 2 bikes down. a zx6r and your bike

    i personally dont know what happened but i'd imagine you 2 came together. or one of you wrecked avoiding the other during a wreck or one was pitting out and got ass packed?

    honest opinion i'd guess you 2 came together out of dead bear or one was pitting out and off pace and nailed the other

    I may have some details off a bit as I did not directly see the indecent the moment it occurred, but I heard the crash and saw both of you and your bikes coming to a stop in the grass. I was at Start/finish (grid). From the info I gathered, the green bike came out of dead bear hot and wide. He was attempting to pass you up the inside coming into 9. It appears he was off his normal line for his pace and didn't turn on time, or at all. This unfortunately was at the same time you were at tip in for turn 9. I don't think you would have even seen him to your right as he was coming in hot. Your lines at that point intersected and contact was made.

    Sorry about the off, but I was very relived to know no one was seriously hurt from the sound of it. Hopefully your recover is going well and we get to see you back out there soon!

    Thanks for your post. This makes sense to me. I have been on this track before and was pretty sure I was doing fine. With my memory loss I can only surmise that I was caught off guard.
    Thanks again
