At the qualifying round for the 250cc MotoGP race in Mugello Honda rider Raffaele de Rosa was almost thrown off his bike almost high siding it when it lost traction and then quickly snapped back up. Obviously a skilled rider, he was able to ride the bike as if it were some sort of rodeo bull, remounting the machine and returning to the pits. I have such a huge amount of respect for this rider, I don’t know who he is but I will remember his name, luck and still go hand in hand, it was luck that he wasn’t thrown off the bike, and it was his skill that kept the bike upright and him getting back on it.
