Is that one of those rather exspensive Stack dashs trying to part company with the rest of the Ducati, obviously can't stand the heat.
They say its the Hottest Superbike championship in the World at the moment, is this what they meant.

OMG KEV !!!

No one hurt I hope...

apparently not, but Haga's eyebrows may have been singed. His first BSB meeting was a real Baptism of Fire

There's also a video clip of it available on the front page of www.dean-thomas.com

Scary... anyone know what caused it??

Nothing to do with Scott Smart's wiring was it?

Its suspected that the fire ball was caused by a ruptured carbonfibre fuel tank depositing its contents onto a hot engine and aided on its way by a few sparks from engine cases etc scraping along the track.
