Nice Save Marc
 
Marc Marquez tucks the front, salvages it, and is on the gas carrying the front wheel while pulling himself back into the seat............whatever it takes!

Pictures are worth a thousand words......

How fast is he moving during all of this Siegster? That's insane!

Hard to say not knowing the track/corner. Very seldom do they get below 40 mph, speed was in his favor to pull that off, I'd get between 40-60 mph, maybe up to 70, anymore and I'd guess the mass would be working against you.

Being so comfortable on the bike to maintain his composure is what's cool. How fun would it be to watch video of yourself saving that one!

Saw these pictures a day or so ago and couldn't believe it. Heck of a save whether luck or skill.

You know it's both, the stars have to be aligned to pull if off. :thumbsup:

After 10 straight wins this season I doubt the sponsors will flinch at buying him a few more suits. :D

This kid is really a talent to watch, I hope he stays healthy.
