In the history of Grands Prix, in terms of rescuing a situation that would amount to despair for ordinary mortals, there has been Randy Mamola, there has been Steven Odendaal and, since then, there has been Bo Bendsneyder. The Batavian once again impressed with his sense of balance and his determination in Moto2. But this one is perhaps even stronger than the aforementioned. In any case, it had a collateral consequence…
« I had to change my underwear », wrote Bendsneyder on his Instagram account about this rescue when he posted the scene of his incredible performance this Friday. Victim of a highside, he almost climbed over the handlebars of his SAG-Kalex at turn 15, but he finally managed to land next to the bike with both hands on the handlebars. And on the slippery and wet asphalt he failed directly in the pit lane. The entrance is just after turn 15.
Bo Bendsneyder: “It almost went wrong!"
« It was very humid in the FT1. I decided not to pit in this session because with each lap I did my feeling on the bike improved ", explain Bendsneyder, describing his adventure: “ At the end of the session, when I wanted to go a little faster, it went wrong. Or rather, it almost went wrong! »
« I had to change my pants, but luckily we were able to laugh about it afterwards and I'm fine ", declared the Dutchman from 22 years old, who is the teammate of Tom Luthi in the SAG racing team.
