Yikes.  As if the fire wasn't bad enough, then you almost run over the rider.

His first thought was for the downed competitor's health.


His very next thought was, "SWEET! I got through before the flaggers came out!".


He'll get free seconds on all the subsequent riders.

What happened to the fire ball rider did he get hit by a missle? Drive thru the flame and see a person on the road in front of you!

A good friend of mine was there competing in the Manx GP this year where that fireball happened.  The dude who crashed is generally ok...broken arm or something like that.
