I wouldn't say so, just looks like he made a mistake and tried to go right, then just kept going further right as the bike and rider came at him until he ran out of room.

It's a good example to stick to your line or tighten it up if a rider goes down in front of you because they're going to slide to the outside.

Agreed... the trailing rider should have known to stay inside.

It happens with our new racers (in cages) where they go where the empty track is before everything works itself out and end up being where it all ends us.

good point - but it *could* be a target fixation, i'll say a combination of both.

how would you know this? Rubber doesn't take a few laps to get warmed, can be done in less than a lap but it didn't seem like these guys did a lap

ya i agree it wasn't target fixation. He went to the outside to avoid the guy, but the guy kept going wide, and eventually they hit.

Hopefully both were ok
