Davey Todd & Adam McClean Crash on 1st Lap of NW200 Supersport Race - 9th May 2024

[@ewantodd]

So glad all are ok. Well done Davey in your next race. Magic stuff

[@GaryGSF]

Also glad the guys walked away from this crash. Amazing that Davey was able to ride in the next race never mind winning it. Well done.

[@OldSchoolNI]

Davey Todd is a class act. Getting himself dusted down after this crash, probably hurting likr crazy, then winning next race. What a cool customer.

[@GaryGSF]

I think I'd still be crying over my trashed Ducati. Thanks for watching.

The best view of the crash I've seen. Thanks for posting. Honestly, has to be one of the least dangerous spots on the track to crash speed-wise. Glad everyone was OK

[@GaryGSF]

Glad you enjoyed it. There are definitely worse places on the track to step off but it was nasty enough. Thanks for watching.

[@sleepwalker8600]

Great footage, I don’t know what McClean was thinking but it’s first corner first lap and these things happen but what a comeback from Mike Brown, he’s a very very good rider.

[@CrewGuyPJ]

" Dont Call Me Guy Martin" (LOL) had a helluva race to get back to 4th from 14th at end of the first lap. He was excellent at IOM last year before an off. I think his future in the sport could be very bright!

[@sleepwalker8600]

@@CrewGuyPJ 😂😂 “Don’t call me Guy Martin” that’s brilliant. He definitely does, it’ll come together for him and it wouldn’t surprise me if he comes away with a couple of wins between the NW and TT.

[@glenpedersen2337]

Glad they’re both OK. Road racing can be harsh.

[@Gma7788]

Wrong. Clearly these riders are WAY BEYOND what they're supposed to be doing. Theu haven't just "over shot the braking zone by a few centimetres, no, they've all braked well beyond the braking zone. They, in effect, IGNORED the braking zone. They're actually ignoring 50% of the race, which is the skill of slowing down so you can survive going around the corner.

[@RapidRossi]

Hi GaryGSF, I’m Anton Severinsson (CirciutKings), and I’m working on a video about motorsport crashes. I would love to use this clip in my crash compilation. Would that be fine? I will, of course, give full credit and link back to your original video. Thank you so much for your time and consideration! Best regards, Anton Severinsson (CirciutKings)

[@GaryGSF]

That will be fine. Feel free to use it

[@Dalesmanable]

I know it’s been said countless times, but these riders are awesome, in the true meaning of the word. I’ve done many risky things in my time but they eclipse me by miles. Roll on the TT.

[@GaryGSF]

I totally agree, these guys are superhuman. The TT is the greatest spectacle for any biker but NW200 is definitely another great event. Enjoy the TT.

[@jimmymullen7825]

Mike Browne made some comeback from that............

[@Vinrx7]

Hard to tell if he just leaned in too much on cold tires or he used the brakes on that turn and the front just came out. On the plus side, it happened at one of the slowest corners. Glad they are ok.

[@GaryGSF]

There was a suggestion that the bike no.16 Mike Brown unsighted the first rider to go down. It happens in racing of course. As you say it is good all were ok after it. I could have cried looking at the state of Davy Todd's lovely Ducati after the crash. Thanks for watching.

[@Keeperlit_24]

Adam McClean is an expert at crashing. He cud easily of seriously injured Davey.

[@GaryGSF]

It definitely was slightly rash. Thanks for watching.

[@ononewheellad]

It’s called competitive racing too. These things do happen.

[@John_Wood_]

@@ononewheellad really, McClean is an also ran who is a danger to other riders as displayed here.

[@Stickleback]

Darting for that 1st corner, no need, nice and easy, and race on the straights where overtaking is at it`s easiest.

[@John_Wood_]

@@Stickleback McLean was 10 second down per lap in qualifying, no idea what he expected to achieve during the race. Should be banned on the weekend.

[@Petermcann002]

Davey must have gotten the scare of his life, kinda one of those nasty slow crashes, glad both look okay 👍

[@GaryGSF]

Totally agree. Thanks for watching.

[@prozeza]

Someone's ambition outweighed his talent...

[@Petermcann002]

McClean did the exact same thing to Derek McGee (86) at the ulster grand prix a few years ago, This just reminded me of it

[@GaryGSF]

Maybe overdoses on adrenaline. Thankfully all were ok.

[@CarlStJohn-x9w]

I see someone made sure the bike was alright first..

[@GaryGSF]

The medical team were located there and were right behind them. Thanks for watching.

[@nitrousninja882]

I think the first rider to go down was on the brakes a little too hard while leaned over quite a bit. I think his front tire washed out and he slid into the other rider bringing him down also. I'm glad no one was seriously injured!

[@GaryGSF]

It definitely as you described but also Mike Brown run in a little fast and run on. The white bike may have been following him but committed to the corner rather than overshooting. As you say the main thing is they were ok after it.

[@howardthrust]

Is that what's called "Getting McClean'd-Out"??!!😯

[@jondanby3790]

Always the potential there for that kind of incident.

[@GaryGSF]

Totally agreed. First slow corner, cold tyres and hard charging riders, it carries big risk. Thankfully they were able to get up after it.

[@daftdigital]

The white road paint as well

[@fredscratchet1355]

Ooh that was nasty hope they were both ok.

[@GaryGSF]

I think they were both generally fine. One had a hand injury and couldn't race on but the other went out in the next race to take the win. Men of steel.

[@phelanpawly2507]

What a dumb arse move to pull on cold tyres.

[@GaryGSF]

IIt definitely was slightly rash. Thanks for watching.

Hardly cold tyres, a warm night, warm roads and tyre warmers just off. Just a simple racing incident, they do happen. Maybe that was your first time watching the bike racing..?

[@Davelad1998]

That Adam McLean should not have a racing licence he is a clown on a bike and to be honest is a danger to himself and other racers the line he took into that corner was completely wrong

[@mirial2108]

I don't know much about motorcycle racing, but to me, seeing as Davey Todd and Glenn Irwin were much faster, I wouldn't see the point of even trying to pass either of them so early on, plus there was no one attacking from behind. With the level of commitment he had going in, he should have had the rear end slightly askew to give more control being that late on the brakes and to avoid the front from letting go.

[@GaryGSF]

He was definitely ambitious in this one.The medical team were located there and were right behind them. Thanks for watching.

What scares me is he was hardly into a lean, and went. Must have been something on the road. I ride my bike regularly and often lean further than this.

[@djrichylaurence8991]

That was unlucky. He must've hit some loose stuff going in.

It was unfortunate but too much brakes entering the corner tucked the front of the first guy to go down in my opinion. Thanks for watching.

[@whomanbeing]

Definitely a downside of the racing. No shortage of riders wanting to do it. Packed grids in this year's NW200.

I guess the guy that got hit off was lucky the other guy had the front wash out rather than hitting him with the bike still up (I don't ride bikes, well not with engines)

[@GaryGSF]

The one that stayed on (Mike Browne) may have contributed to unsighting the white bike rider (Adam McClean). As I have never raced I too am only guessing. All bikers are warned of target fixation. Thanks for watching.
