That crash caught me off guard I didnt think it would happen before the first turn. And that drift was amazing, how exactly did he do it?

I thought in motorcycle racing you cant get a boost from staying behind someone.

Drafting? Did you think it was against the rules or just doesn't work?

Drafting is a very important part of road racing and often decides the outcomes of races.

That's still up to debate, best explanation I've read was it was him fighting to stay outside while his brain was telling him to turn in. Either way I've never seen anything like it.

I didnt think drafting works with bikes, just cars?

I think the Chris V link is down. Is this the one where he is backing it in but is drifting to his right? Simply amazing.
