Check out the video (before you know who finds it) of Jorge Lorenzo’s horrific looking highside at Laguna Seca during FP3, but three hours after this crash and downing a couple of painkillers, he stormed to pole position.
The reigning World Champion immediately after the incident said he was puzzled by his accident as he wasn’t travelling at high speed and wanted to see the video of how it happened, but he just should have looked at the data from his onboard computer because the Spaniard just simply forgot to downshift at the corner.
Lorenzo had disengaged the traction control system to practice a start, with launch control taking over, however to remove launch control the rider has to downshift so TC can kick back in automatically, not doing it got him spat off the bike.
