MotoGP: Valentino Rossi lucky after crash at Austrian Grand Prix, Johann Zarco, Franco Morbidelli (https://wwos.nine.com.au/motorsport/motogp-valentino-rossi-near-miss-crash-austrian-grand-prix-johann-zarco-franco-morbidelli/f4e2f636-5779-4c3d-b21e-926a9b7fd01d)

An incident like that would have me considering a career change. Just shows how quickly and easily circumstances can go to crap.

Me too. I actually felt myself duck. The Moto2 crash was shocking too.

From a tv perspective that was worse because we saw the crew working on Hafizh for about 10 minutes before the crawler on the bottom of the screen said “all riders conscious”. Took me right back to watching Simoncelli.

Rossi has had a few close calls in his career. That would have to be one of the closest calls he has had, bloody lucky to not get injured. Then how does he recover and finish 5th after seeing your life flash before your eyes?

I'm an ex (car) racer so don't like seeing prangs either, hate the things.
