It was frightening to watch as you could see it happening well before Edwina's, glad the news of both Garys is good.

Both the medic's & marshals were awesome, very much on the case and very typical of what happens under the Thundersport banner,...Slick!
Not wanting to be greedy, but are there any more leading up to, and beyond what is here? Fantastic images of some of the effect, good job Mike. And testiment to the quality and safety standard of both Shoei helmets & A&M Leathers, and the value of wearing top flight gear.
Thanks again from me & Gaz B for all the help, best wishes, support from everyone: amazing & very humbling!

Amazing photo sequence! Glad you are both more or less ok. Did something similar at our last race in Sep but the 2 photographers that had us in frame were too shocked to press the shutter button (and I have absolutely no intension of repeating the scenario of an F1 upside down 3 feet off the ground traveling at 90 mph to give them another opportunity ) At least I was able to stand up, look back and immediately figured out what happened (I walked away without a scratch and my passenger ended up with a severe ankle sprain). Hope the mending (both the crew and the bike) proceed quickly and smoothly.

Gulp! Great photos, but I much prefer watching you boys the right way up. Heal fast and get back to what you both do so well...finishing races and standing on podiums!

OMG!! I know everybody that had seen it said it was bad, when Dave and Gromit came back in they were in shock at what they had just seen. For the first time ever I was up at the pit wall on timing duties so missed it (luckily). They said that it had been very close as the bike passed in front of them but I hadn't realised just HOW close (pictures 5, 6 and 7 in the sequence)
Incredible shots Mike ...... and above ALL else thank every power that be that both the G's walked away from this with just a few bruises

''value of wearing top flight gear''.... not wrong there he says as he flies through the air .....
VERY pleased to see you Gary up at the Bus stop on Sunday ... was sickening to see the outfit go over like it did. Glad to hear you both on the mend.
Well done the Orange Army for there fast reactions
Looking forward to seeing you both out there again soon
Good catch Mike ...

Nice to see Gary B will be ok. As for Gary P...he was damaged before this wasn't he? You know I love you Gaz.....still got that bloody pin badge you sold me, and the mouse mat with you and Steve C, both looking at me as I type. Do I get a refund?
