I was at Mondello last Sunday for the first race of the season. There was a crash involving four bikes in the first lap of the supersports race:

The new Triumph Daytona 675 made it's racing debut this weekend:

    Good for triumph! Glad to see them racing again...

    But didn't Cycle World say the 675 was designed with "no racing intentions in mind"??

    The bikes are being raced in the clubman championship which is the entry level racing in Ireland. I don't think Triumph have put any bikes into factory teams. They went well with one rider finishing fourth.

    OUCH, but nice catch on 1st pic, find I have 2 thoughts racing through mind ... 1 damn lucky shot, & just shoot off a few frames madly. Closley followed by anyone hurt ? oh big bucks on repairs.

    Fess us sports fans, who doesnt long for a spill of some kind to happen right in front of you, & when it does you just shoot. As happened in my post of last years MotoGP @ Phillip Island.

    I would never claim to be anything other than lucky when I get a good photo rolleyes1.gif . The temperature was just above freezing and the bikes were crashing at that corner frequently. I had the camera pointed the right way and kept the shutter pressed when the carnage started.

    I actually always think it's good to try and capture the expressions of the other riders too...

    Nice capture man!
