I guess its all about being in the right place at the right time. I guess i got lucky, The pictures aren't great because i was i shock at what was happening in front of me, and the fact that everyone beside me was running out of the way. But me being me, i just kept shooting. Have a look. Female Rider Ornella Ongaro, crashes right in front of me. Glad to say, she was uninjuried and walked away from this.

I sure did, i emailed them to her a few days after i took them. I know, i am too kind, but i was just glad to get the pictures. She was over the moon that someone caught the moment she went down.

That was the first thing I asked the track photographer when I went down at the track but I was not as lucky no one had pictures.

She was over the moon that i got all the action and i was speaking to her team manager the other day in france and they told me they where able to take the pictures and determine what went wrong and help set up the bike better for the isle of man TT race next week. Hopefully making sure that the same mistake doesn't happen again. So i am please with that. I guess we where both luck. :D
