On the first lap of the NW200 Supersport race on Thursday 9th May 2024 Davey Todd & Adam McClean crash at York Corner. Fortunately they only suffered minor injuries and Davey Todd managed to go out in the next race and even won it, legend. It was lucky also there was no ensuing fire as Davey's fuel tank ruptured. I show this in real time speed and also 1/2 speed and slightly zoomed in.
More videos to follow over the next few days.

So glad all are ok. Well done Davey in your next race. Magic stuff

Also glad the guys walked away from this crash. Amazing that Davey was able to ride in the next race never mind winning it. Well done.

Davey Todd is a class act. Getting himself dusted down after this crash, probably hurting likr crazy, then winning next race. What a cool customer.

Wrong. Clearly these riders are WAY BEYOND what they're supposed to be doing. Theu haven't just "over shot the braking zone by a few centimetres, no, they've all braked well beyond the braking zone. They, in effect, IGNORED the braking zone. They're actually ignoring 50% of the race, which is the skill of slowing down so you can survive going around the corner.

@mirial2108 Ай бұрын

I don't know much about motorcycle racing, but to me, seeing as Davey Todd and Glenn Irwin were much faster, I wouldn't see the point of even trying to pass either of them so early on, plus there was no one attacking from behind. With the level of commitment he had going in, he should have had the rear end slightly askew to give more control being that late on the brakes and to avoid the front from letting go.
