    I've watched this race a dozen times and I'm still not tired of it. It's perhaps the best flat track battle I've ever seen. I know it's old 2012 but it's like a good story... sometimes I tell it over and over because I like hearing it.

    Yep, pretty cool racing thu the top 7,8 spots .... #7 rider is using that high line for all its worth in the middle of the race till the restart ...
    Watch the camera shots that are pointing backwards ... You can the track ruts(?) and the bikes moving all over ...

    Tossing a bike sideways is 1 motorcycle move I've done since age ~14 ... I'd be more comfortable doing that racing than the sx \ mx stuff I've raced here... Not that I'm gonna ride a bike that size or go that fast...

    Last 2 laps ...Guess you could say one guy got rode high into fence and he didn't really care apparently as he squared his bike, dove to the bottom where he was not riding lately, and made the pass that counted entering the ~next corner ... That's keeping your head on straight and in the game.

    And like a true-blue Professional athlete, he did not go start a fight with his competitor (at least not on camera), he did not cry like a baby, or even throw his helmet at anyone ... So cool to see motorcycle racers of world set a standard during and after a race that the glamor boys of most all other PRO sports can not achieve.
