| Re: This had to hurt The guy that hit him could have missed him if he wouldn't have target fixated on the guy that was down. |

| Re: This had to hurt "Despite a poor grid position, Siglin shot into the lead early and never looked back in the Open Production race, his first race on a new Yamaha R1. James Randolph, also hunting Yamaha contingency money on a new R1, worked his way through the pack when a crash involving David Robinson (profile), “Wild” Bill Fordyce, and another rider brought the race to a halt. Siglin was awarded the win, with Randolph second and Matt Harvey (profile) third on a Werkstatt-tuned GSX-R1000. " "Despite an exciting raceday with many fine performances by many talented individuals, many AFMers left Buttonwillow (info, website) with a great deal of concern for the well-being of “Wild” Bill Fordyce, who was transported from the track with serious injuries after crashing in the 750 Superbike race." a link Mention of Wild Bill starts at the fifth repley in the thread

| Re: This had to hurt That makes a lot more sense. It didn't look like a hard crash at all. |

 | Re: This had to hurt another update: Bill Apparently he not only fractured a few ribs and had a concussion, but his heart stopped. One of the corner workers performed CPR as he was transported to the hospital. |

| Re: This had to hurt Its interesting, the #2 yamaha right behind the highside managed to get around while the suzuki went into it. Did he fixate on the crash ? I hope he comes out all right. |

| Re: This had to hurt #141 does appear to have target fixated, judging by his helmet position -looking at the fallen bike ahead, rather than for a way around. |
