Anyone got any idea how I got to plough the turf in the middle of the chicane ?
Apparantly butch saw me going down and valiantly threw his bike at mine and kept me upright, and then went on to inspect the ground himself, while I sh*t myself squirrelling over the grass.
Someone said there were loads of people with cameras around there, so it would be interesting if someone could tell me what actually happened

Do you mean Cadwell?

It doesn't capture it too well, but have a look at this:

Thanks phil.
That is frustratingly close !
I've still no idea what really happened - all I can remember is 'bang' on the back of the bike and grass ! I didnt even know which side I was hit until I saw butch's blue paint on the left silencer, and I thought I had been hit on the right !
