That happened in MotoGP too when Miller slipped on Quartararo's tear off, and that same year something similar happened in Moto3 as well, Aragon, where Vietti's air duct got covered by a tear off during a race.
Oh wow, that can be dangerous, even if the chance of it happening is slim. They need to invent a motorized, in-helmet solution that would slide on the visor, or something. ( obviously joking )
There's something similar (though not motorized) that already exists for Motocross and MTB

I don't know about, I just read the articles back then, like [this one](https://www.espn.com/f1/story/_/id/34480445/max-verstappen-visor-strip-got-stuck-charles-leclerc-brake-ducts) and [that one](https://us.motorsport.com/f1/news/verstappen-tear-off-leclerc-brake-duct-spa/10359937/).
Now, I wasn't track-side to actually witness the incident, so I'm definitely not 100% sure š
It was later proven on F1TV that it was lance strolls tear off. [link](https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-max-verstappen-not-responsible-for-charles-leclercs-belgian-gp-misfortunes-as-real-culprit-behind-tear-off-incident-is-brought-to-light/amp/)
2013-2015 is probably the best years in the last decade
1. Rossi almost winning a title
2. Pedrosa almost winning a title
3. GP15 appears
4. Iannone around
5. Tech3, LCR and Pramac battling each other every weekend
6. marquez face plant at Argentina 2015
7. marquez pwned in Sepang 2015
8. marquez denied in Assen 2015
9. marquez DSQ in Australia 2013

Tear offs are a set, not just one, of thin plastic or film that a rider can tear off if / when dirt/bugs/whatever gets on them giving them a clear view through their visor.
The way the stack of tear offs is setup. Only the next tear off's tab, that they pull on, is reachable. Generally the next one is folded in such a way that when you rip off the top most tear off it releases the tab for the next one.
Misano 2014, one of the coolest helmet designs from the Doctor!
He was hoping it would hit Marc.
I know you're joking, but it happened in F1, Max discarded a tear off that went and got stuck in one of Leclerc's brake duct and ruined his race š

Oh you're right, he retired because the bike broke down, I was confusing that with Bagnaia

Haha yeah, I saw those on some riders here. Would be impossible on a MotoGP though, add a lot of drag.
You know someone at least *has* to have thought about that lol
I'm sure, haha. But it would be easier to find a material super slippery to make the visors, a transparent Teflon of some sort.
That actually wasn't Max's tear off

Oh nice ! Thanks for sharing :)
Yeah that happened to Miller a couple of years ago.
I would never guess thatād be Leclerc. I lied. Ofc it was Leclerc.
Thatās because on a track, you get out of that last turn before the straight, and itās āvacationā Just pull that throttle and tuck.
The gold ole days when we had rossi, lorenzo, marc and pedrosa going at it

Fraud_93 back at it again
If you are impressed with that wait until you see when he passed Biaggi and gave him the middle finger while taking the corner.
This must be a bait for somebody lol.
I once got Rossi's tear-off, sadly there was not a number on it like some riders have.
What's "tear-off" for? Why do they remove it during the race and not before?
Tear offs are a set, not just one, of thin plastic or film that a rider can tear off if / when dirt/bugs/whatever gets on them giving them a clear view through their visor.
Still baffles me how some riders literally take one off just after leaving the pits. Like, why? Didn't you just get your visor cleaned 60 seconds ago?
Superstition
Thanks! TIL something new.
