Looks like he was about to rearend Melandri and got the rear wheel up in the air trying to stop as hard as he could. When the rear came back down it was plenty sideways and hooked up throwing the bike into a fit.

Steering damper broke due to the violent Tankslapper according to his twitter page. He was blaming the set up of his front end in race k e that caused this problem.

Yea I see how sideways it was now, had to keep rewinding to the beginning to catch that.

Wow that could have ended very bad for him and Rea. He just missed plowing into Rea. I believe him when if he said he almost crapped himself.

To me it looked like the back tire broke loose heavy on the throttle as the bike became light going over that hump?

Lol something like that, but this guy made it look much cooler. I just shat myself like a 5 year old.

Pretty sure he's on the brakes when that happened, not the gas.
