Yeah, very similar to what happend in Catalunya in '06 between Cap and Giberneau. Capirossi got fucked up. A bunch of people went down in that turn 1 wreck. It was an impressive wreck.

ahh yeah I remember that wreck never did hear what happened... looked like someone threw a stick on the spokes!

His team mate, Giberneau swerved left and hit Cap's brake lever. Over the bars he went. It was the start of the race and there was tons of colateral damage, too. Badass.
