I watched that live as it happened! Ive never seen a wheel fall apart like that before in all the years ive watched bike racing

Could be any 1 of several wheel suppliers, but like they said, theyl have some serious questions to answer! Hes damn lucky it happeded there at the slowest corner on the circuit!!!! It really shouldnt happen at this level of motorsport, but then look what happened to Pirelli tyres in World Supersport at the opening round at Philip Island

Top man, one wheel on his wagon, and he's STILL got the throttle pinned!

I wonder if the wheel had been in a crash before.
It's unusual for it to go like that, even if it was a manufacturing fault. I wonder if there was a hairline crack in one of the spokes from a previous impact.
