I believe there is a slight dip or something in that corner. If you watch more of his videos, a lot of people have trouble at that corner.
Photographers are there to make money off these riders just for best shot of their leans . They are very helpful guys/gals!
These photographers contribute to accidents on Dragon as well. Riders want to look cool and get over theirs limits. Also, looking at the photographer they are going wide into the oposit lane.
I've been riding on European roads with ALL sorts of different curves, and never saw photogtaphers... . No such a show-off mentally.
As for this vid, it's hard to judge from it, but it looks like something on the road that contributed to loose the rear...
It amazes me how many people are standing around that corner to help the rider up after a crash, it's like they know it's coming. Do riders crash everyday?
How do you know that the photographer didn't spray some slippery liquid on that part of the corner the night before to ensure he keeps getting fresh crash videos for his website?
I agree that when there are photographers, riders tend to ride differently adding to the percentages of mishaps. The rider however should take full responsibility for their action and can not blame the photographer unless of course the photographer throws the camera at the rider or under his wheels.
Also if the photographer is naked....If the photographer is naked...... then yes....... the photographer may have some responsibility and then the rider may share responsibility......
