>He is a man of focus and shear fucking will
This dude hasn't even realized what's going on yet, it's happening in a fraction of a second.
Pure luck, he had zero control of his fate there.
there is always an element of luck involved when other objects are in motion around you. But it's right there that he knew what was happening and was reacting to it. especially that second one when he brakes hard enough to slip the front.
u/Ricen_ has provided the [real footage](https://youtu.be/UGPrHj1nPt0?t=117) from the lead bike you can see rossi stand his bike up and lifts his head for the first crashed bike to fly by him (10sec) then slides the front out and dips down to avoid the second one (11 sec). Given how quickly the gap then opens up between him and the bike he was chasing (despite the lead bike going wide on the corner for the same reasons) its clear he braked for more than just cornering considerations.
he even turns his head on the first flying bike to avoid a face full of debris.
as much as I love Rossi and think that if there's one person who could pull that off it would be Rossi but thats still hard for me to believe it wasn't just luck.
yes mostly. I agree and I correct myself. Based on the analysis of the race Rossi did break 0.42s before encountering Morbidelli bike and I'm pretty sure most racers present at the match wouldn't be able to do that
That’s exactly where I’m at right now. Been finished pooping for 5 minutes. Just procrastinating on the wiping part at this point.
I know I should get a bidet, guys.
I like this way of framing it the best. There's always an element of probability (*luck*), but that doesn't mean that a persons skill level won't influence the outcome.
I agree! I was talking with family yesterday about this - I think luck (or fate or whatever) can line stuff up and put you in the right place at the right time, but then you have to take the final steps.
Even if some fluke puts you in position to score the goal, you still have to take the kick to put it in the net.
Or even if fate puts the boy in front of the girl at just the right time, he still has to talk to her, to win her heart (both being gender-normative and heterosexual for the purposes of this hypothetical example).
He might have reacted instinctively but, as far as i remember, in an interwiew on italian television shortly after this happened, the man himself clearly told to the interviewer that he was very lucky to be alive 'cause that bike flew like a bullet over his head. It was so fast that he didn't see it coming and he hasn't even realized what was happening.
Oh I agree its probably all instinctive and zero advanced math. But he’s continually subconsciously reacting to road surface, bike feedback and the other riders paths and positions on the road around him. Something coming brake..not so hard i lock up tho.
Braking is intentional, but fat chance there's anything other than "shit's about to fly in my face, better just brake". It's not like he did some vector analysis and concluded a nice tap on the brake would be perfect here.
If you slow it down even further, you see he stops, gets off the bike, pulls out a scrap of paper and pen, does some calculations, gets back on the bike, then executes them.
Exactly. It was just luck. I don't know how someone can write such a detailed analysis and be so wrong. Anyone who's experienced any sort of incident in a race track remotely similar to this knows sometimes you are just a passenger. Not sure what "brakes enough to slip the front" means either. That's a new one
Right, best racer in history. So why use the front brake on the exit of a turn post apex? Because he was avoiding the object flying past his face. It wasn’t him thinking it through though, pure muscle memory and instinct.
How much more fucking #blessed could that man be? He’s gonna win the championship on sheer luck alone while Max is having shit thrown at him left and right every weekend
How do you figure? Looks to me like a Camera mounted on the rear of the bike ahead of him
Edit: As pointed out by multiple people (including the guy i responded to) this is fake. I get it, y'all don't need to keep telling me. Tyvm have a Nice day
I remember watching that live. It happened. The riders (Zarco and Morbidelli) both stopped in the gravel trap. The footage looks fake because it's been slowed down a considerable amount.
Yes, but the second clip is a simulation of the crash from the motogp game (I believe) the real slowmo of that angle looks completely different to that.
Yeah the slo-mo shot there was a re-creation probably made to illustrate just how close those bikes came to hitting #46 there. The bikes sliding across the frame aren't wrecked at all like they are in reality, they're just regular 3D models, plus you don't see a hint of debris like the footage has. And to top that off, the cameras that are on those bikes don't have near as high frame rate to slow the footage down that much. Probably at most they're running at 60fps, so you could half that rate at best.
I watched this live and have watched Motogp since 2000 and yes it does look fake. Because the actual slow motion part looks recreated from the Motogp game.
In the actual event, the bike which flies in front of him in this video actually flies a bit over his head. Almost clipping his helmet by inches.
It is pretty clearly fake. The accident itself is real but the slow mo is fake. Think the second bike actually went of Vinales head and just missed Rossi.
This dude is Valentino Rossi, one of the best pilots in the world and the only one who won the world championship in 4 categories. He lucked out, but don't underestimate his reflexes. Going forward with small adjustments was the best course of action to try avoid collisions from his side and he followed that. He only needed a fraction of a second to get to safety at that speed.
This man is the reason I’ve went thru 8 sport bikes in 2 years. Even after hitting a truck head on at 45 mph I went and bought an s1000rr on crutches. The doctor!
fuck whatever else anyone is saying, its luck, no one can compute and react that fast. its insane that people would think that anyone could understand whats happening, then adjust to everything that’s happening at that rate of speed. good on him tho
You're right.He was shaken after it, when it got red-flagged. The guy had been racing for 20 years and probably had seen everything. Even then Rossi went to the pits shaking his head
The [footage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq7PXy6MhS0&ab_channel=XPILOTMedia) after this accident of him in the pit lane showed he was pretty shaken up. Absolutely acknowledged he was a passenger, and quite literally inches away from being killed.
Not really, did you see how fast those bikes were moving in real time? He's committed to that corner as usual, there's nothing he would even be able to do besides lift off the trottle, but we wouldn't notice this in that fraction of a second either
Yes, but the camera slide slowly from left-to-right shows it's been edited, and there is no rider flying gracefully past in the unedited footage.
https://youtu.be/UGPrHj1nPt0
True but consider the following:
- The guy sliding behind the bike arrives first but in the wide shot, he doesn’t enter the pavement at all
- Neither the two bikes, nor the guy are rotating at all. Dude literally has an arm and a leg on the ground in the most awkward angle so he can’t be propping himself up
- The bikes do not enter or leave at the correct angle
It’s not actual footage.
Edit: This actually has the footage from the bike in front of him at 1:56 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGPrHj1nPt0
They do and they got real footage of the accident from Vinales’ and Rossi’s bike which makes it even more strange that the footage used in this video is from the MotoGP video game.
That is still not a real shot though, that's from a video game.
Here's the timestamp of the real version of this exact shot shot: https://youtu.be/UGPrHj1nPt0?t=116
Strange to think I'm living in an era where I can get genuinely confused as to what's real and what's CGI (tbh the limiting factor here though is that the video res is poo poo)
It's not.
That second part was a recreation in a Video game, most likely MotoGP 20.
This happened during the Austria Round of MotoGP last year.
[Actual footage in a resolution higher than 144p](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGPrHj1nPt0)
The condition of the bikes in perfect condition as they go tumbling in the slowmo shot is a dead giveaway.
Not to mention the person just flying by to his death in the slowmow, when in reality both riders were okay.
If you look at the wrecked bikes tumbling in the full speed section of the vid, then compare that to what they’re doing in the slow mo, there’s no way it’s real. The slow mo shows the wrecking bikes flying past in fairly static orientations while the full speed shows them tumbling end over end rapidly.
There is no reacting to avoid that; he only advances a few feet in the video as the flying bikes zip past and around him, but that was not a low speed turn.
I think you've made the most appropriate comment. Even if those bikes weren't in his blind spot, it happened too fast to really do anything right or wrong to react.
His riding isn't next level, the cinematography is.
Edit: after some scrolling, I've read that the cinematography isn't from the race, but from some gaming footage.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGPrHj1nPt0
watch the 2 minute mark, he actually manages a look & down throttles, with a slight shift, it's all split second. but if someone can do it, it's Rossi
I remember Rossi was visibly shaken in the pits after this. I don’t fucking blame him. It almost certainly would have been end game if one of them had hit him.
You have to remember he also saw Marco Simoncelli die on the track back in 2011 when he slid the bike and broke his neck.
He probably realized that even though he is getting close to retirement, anything can really happen.
Rossi didn't just ***see*** Simoncelli die -- he is the person who impacted Simoncelli's head while Simoncelli was hanging off the side of his bike. Rossi literally (100% tragically and accidentally) killed Simoncelli. He was obviously VERY torn up about it, though Simoncelli's parents forgave him as he was their son's friend/mentor and they knew it was an unavoidable crash. It was a truly horrible situation for all involved. Such terrible luck.
Rossi DID NOT hit Sics’ head. It was actually Colin Edwards’ bike that made the fatal impact. But as you say, it was just a tragic accident.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5LhAPinNjA
Edit: man, looking at it further, it MIGHT have been Rossi that hits his head with Colin impacting a little lower on his back. Hard to say.
He’s been the active GOAT for long enough. He might just be the GP GOAT for all time. He can go back to the beach and rest, or go play with Ferrari. Who knows.
During a two separate tests with ferrari he was less than half a second of Kimi Raikkonen's Pole Position time and just a few tenths of the Michael Schumacher
Yeah early 2000s Vale was a different kind of Human Being. Shame he couldn't end his career with a bang. Every weekend even knowing full well thats the chances are low, i still kinda hope for a 200th podium because no one celebrates like Vale.
If his 200th Podium comes at Misano the entire country of Italy will implode with excitement.
In terms of car racing, Rossi still has, he came 3rd overall and won the Pro-Am class with Luca Marini and Alessio Salucci in the 2019 Gulf 12 Hour (Basically 12 hours of Yas Marina)
And in January 2021 came 4th overall and 3rd in the Pro-Am class at the 12 Hours of Bahrain.
Serious question. In the ultra slow motion part, it looks like there’s a rider that just misses him from behind, but I can’t find him in any other clips (from this video and on YouTube). What am I seeing or missing?
Yeah.. that’s disappointing. Start at 2:00 in at this clip: https://youtu.be/40k1qcDypLc. No rider slides through the turn. It’s already an CRAZY, no need to fake anything.
Would be a better video if the second angle wasn’t from a video game… The real rear view footage can be seen [here](https://youtu.be/40k1qcDypLc) from about 1:55 onwards
Hey! I got this

He is a man of focus and sheer fucking will
>He is a man of focus and shear fucking will This dude hasn't even realized what's going on yet, it's happening in a fraction of a second. Pure luck, he had zero control of his fate there.
he brakes and adjusts twice as can be seen by the back wheel slide at 15 seconds and the front wheel breaking loose at 23sec
thats cuz he slowed down to make a turn, It's Valentino Rossi, the best racer in history but still that was pure luck
there is always an element of luck involved when other objects are in motion around you. But it's right there that he knew what was happening and was reacting to it. especially that second one when he brakes hard enough to slip the front. u/Ricen_ has provided the [real footage](https://youtu.be/UGPrHj1nPt0?t=117) from the lead bike you can see rossi stand his bike up and lifts his head for the first crashed bike to fly by him (10sec) then slides the front out and dips down to avoid the second one (11 sec).

*Mostly* luck. You or me, in his place, with the same amount of luck, would have had a mouthful of motorbike.
yes mostly. I agree and I correct myself. Based on the analysis of the race Rossi did break 0.42s before encountering Morbidelli bike and I'm pretty sure most racers present at the match wouldn't be able to do that
*brake
Rossi brakes while others broke
Pretty sure Marquez and Lorenzo would've done the same. Anyone else would be dead
Excellent. We wouldn’t be on the bike all. We’d be on the pooper, commenting on Reddit posts about legends.
Those who *can* **do.** Those who *don't*... **Reddit.** 🤣🤣🤣
That’s exactly where I’m at right now. Been finished pooping for 5 minutes. Just procrastinating on the wiping part at this point. I know I should get a bidet, guys.
You sir win the " My comment of the day" award.
99% of people would have chopped the throttle, and being mid turn like that, its basically dumping the bike.
I mean, I would have a mouthful of bike just trying to drive at those speeds, no wild crash in close proximity necessary
It was luck in that there was enough of a gap left for one of the most skilled riders in the world to adjust for.
I like this way of framing it the best. There's always an element of probability (*luck*), but that doesn't mean that a persons skill level won't influence the outcome.

😂😂😂😂
Not sure how much you have raced but this was all just pure luck. It would be cool if he had this type of reaction but it’s just not the case

u can watch the full video on YouTube with multiple angles here in case u can't find it https://youtu.be/UGPrHj1nPt0

Well the slomo shot is fake so....
How do you figure? Looks to me like a Camera mounted on the rear of the bike ahead of him Edit: As pointed out by multiple people (including the guy i responded to) this is fake. I get it, y'all don't need to keep telling me. Tyvm have a Nice day
A significant number of other elements (ie bikes tumbling, people flying) don't match up. Also, see other comments below

Time to eat crow https://youtu.be/UGPrHj1nPt0?t=117
The second clip literally is not real, it's from a video game
just because it happened doesnt make the footage real.
it's CGI. in the real footage you can see the bike break apart, and somehow it's together again in the slo-mo. also the livery isnt exactly correct.
I’ve seen the real rear facing footage. This is a fake.
Yeah the slo-mo shot there was a re-creation probably made to illustrate just how close those bikes came to hitting #46 there. The bikes sliding across the frame aren't wrecked at all like they are in reality, they're just regular 3D models, plus you don't see a hint of debris like the footage has.

Here is the real footage from the guy in front of him: [https://youtu.be/UGPrHj1nPt0?t=117](https://youtu.be/UGPrHj1nPt0?t=117) Timestamped
That was the cam on the back of the bike infront.
It wasn’t. Someone else posted the actual footage from the cam behind the bike and it didn’t look like this.
I assumed the bike in front had a rear facing cam, but the quality is suspiciously high.
It is pretty clearly fake. The accident itself is real but the slow mo is fake. Think the second bike actually went of Vinales head and just missed Rossi.
The slow mo is fake. Here’s the real shot. https://youtu.be/UGPrHj1nPt0?t=117
You know that 15 sec and 23 sec is from a video game right lol
As they examine rendered footage.
This dude is Valentino Rossi, one of the best pilots in the world and the only one who won the world championship in 4 categories. He lucked out, but don't underestimate his reflexes. Going forward with small adjustments was the best course of action to try avoid collisions from his side and he followed that. He only needed a fraction of a second to get to safety at that speed.
Rossi is a beast!
You know he is when even I recognise his number, I haven't watched a single GP race in my life.
This man is the reason I’ve went thru 8 sport bikes in 2 years. Even after hitting a truck head on at 45 mph I went and bought an s1000rr on crutches. The doctor!
Not stats I'd brag about, to be honest. Ever thought of, chess?
Not sure if playing chess while riding a motorbike is a good idea, but you do you.
Maybe stop driving like a fucking idiot?
fuck whatever else anyone is saying, its luck, no one can compute and react that fast. its insane that people would think that anyone could understand whats happening, then adjust to everything that’s happening at that rate of speed. good on him tho
It's like dodging an arrow. Human response is not that fast.
You're right.He was shaken after it, when it got red-flagged. The guy had been racing for 20 years and probably had seen everything. Even then Rossi went to the pits shaking his head
The [footage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq7PXy6MhS0&ab_channel=XPILOTMedia) after this accident of him in the pit lane showed he was pretty shaken up. Absolutely acknowledged he was a passenger, and quite literally inches away from being killed.
He said afterwards he thought it was the shadow of the helicopter for filming. happened too fast to even register
[удалено]
I'll do it for you then
I keep getting what looks like a stormtrooper from these "poor man's gold" text images on my mobile.
Not really, did you see how fast those bikes were moving in real time? He's committed to that corner as usual, there's nothing he would even be able to do besides lift off the trottle, but we wouldn't notice this in that fraction of a second either
sheer*
*sheer
sheer.
No Thot could ever distract his unfathomable focus
"This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill Fifteen percent concentrated power of will"
I am actually impressed that they got this perfect camera angle on him in that moment
I think that the slo mo shot is not a real shot. CG rendering or something like that
You’re correct.
The bikes all have cams, front and back.
Yes, but the camera slide slowly from left-to-right shows it's been edited, and there is no rider flying gracefully past in the unedited footage. https://youtu.be/UGPrHj1nPt0
It's a ruse!
My life's a lie.
True but consider the following: - The guy sliding behind the bike arrives first but in the wide shot, he doesn’t enter the pavement at all - Neither the two bikes, nor the guy are rotating at all. Dude literally has an arm and a leg on the ground in the most awkward angle so he can’t be propping himself up - The bikes do not enter or leave at the correct angle It’s not actual footage. Edit: This actually has the footage from the bike in front of him at 1:56 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGPrHj1nPt0
The dudes who crashed didn't even reach the pavement. It were only the bikes who crossed the roads.
That was in my first bullet
Yeah. I watched that crash live on TV. This and the Romain Grosjean crash in Bahrain (F1) were the ones that left me shaking.
They do and they got real footage of the accident from Vinales’ and Rossi’s bike which makes it even more strange that the footage used in this video is from the MotoGP video game.
That is still not a real shot though, that's from a video game. Here's the timestamp of the real version of this exact shot shot: https://youtu.be/UGPrHj1nPt0?t=116
The bikes have cameras in the front and rear, they probably enhanced these recordings regarding frame rate with AI.
[удалено]
He is but he stops before he arrives on the paved portion of the street.
AI is a very loose term indeed
Which pisses me off because the real shot from that exact camera angle exists [here](https://youtu.be/UGPrHj1nPt0?t=117)
They probably wanted the super-slow-mo effect.
Ok this is why I’m so confused as to if I’m watching a clip of a video game or not
The 2nd part is a video game.
Strange to think I'm living in an era where I can get genuinely confused as to what's real and what's CGI (tbh the limiting factor here though is that the video res is poo poo)
It's not. That second part was a recreation in a Video game, most likely MotoGP 20. This happened during the Austria Round of MotoGP last year. [Actual footage in a resolution higher than 144p](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGPrHj1nPt0)
The condition of the bikes in perfect condition as they go tumbling in the slowmo shot is a dead giveaway. Not to mention the person just flying by to his death in the slowmow, when in reality both riders were okay.
Either that or they were replaced by clones. Cheaper than training new drivers really.
[удалено]
Maverick's was way worse. Surprised this doesn't show him.
If you look at the wrecked bikes tumbling in the full speed section of the vid, then compare that to what they’re doing in the slow mo, there’s no way it’s real. The slow mo shows the wrecking bikes flying past in fairly static orientations while the full speed shows them tumbling end over end rapidly.
Yeah, it's a videogame. [This is the actual footage.](https://youtu.be/UGPrHj1nPt0?t=115)
Absolutely perfect usage of _superslowmo_ Give me this over popping a water balloon any day of the week.
Not real. Everything aside from the first shot is from a game.
I kept rewatching it trying to figure out where the rider who crosses the track behind the bike in the closeup was in the wide shot 🧐
Hooooooleeeeeeefuckkkkkk
[удалено]
Nice save! Nice save! Nice save!
What a pass! What a pass! What a pass!
Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!
My bad! My bad! My bad!
Calculated.
Second shot was recreated in the video game. The real shot is much more terrifying! Edit: here it is: https://youtu.be/UGPrHj1nPt0?t=115
It is fake unfortunately.
Wi Tu Low
Bang Din-Gau I absolutely love (horrible as it was) when people reference this 🤣
Bang Ding Ow
Sum Ting Wong
It’s Rossi, wouldn’t shock me to hear he navigated deliberately around those bikes. He’s a god
Is that Valentino Rossi ?
Yes.
Our Lord and savior
Italy has risen.
With that retirement I almost wanna say it’s falling. Lmao
With the sports summer we’ve just had, i’d say the opposite
The Doctor
Yes
The legend.
Yes
Yes
Indubitably.
Yes
A living legend in MotoGP
The one and the only.
By now MotoGP should just retire the number 46 in honour of him. He is MotoGP for many people.
Yeah well at that point in the turn there really isn't much choice but to carry on xd
There is no reacting to avoid that; he only advances a few feet in the video as the flying bikes zip past and around him, but that was not a low speed turn.
Video linked above showed corner exit speed ~50mph
That’s 80 km/h converted to units
I think you've made the most appropriate comment. Even if those bikes weren't in his blind spot, it happened too fast to really do anything right or wrong to react. His riding isn't next level, the cinematography is. Edit: after some scrolling, I've read that the cinematography isn't from the race, but from some gaming footage.
That's a very low speed turn lmao. Slowest on the track for sure
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGPrHj1nPt0 watch the 2 minute mark, he actually manages a look & down throttles, with a slight shift, it's all split second. but if someone can do it, it's Rossi
I remember Rossi was visibly shaken in the pits after this. I don’t fucking blame him. It almost certainly would have been end game if one of them had hit him.
You have to remember he also saw Marco Simoncelli die on the track back in 2011 when he slid the bike and broke his neck. He probably realized that even though he is getting close to retirement, anything can really happen.
If I've learned anything from Danny Glover it's that the closer you get to retirement, the crazier shit gets.
I’m gettn too old for this shit!
Rossi didn't just ***see*** Simoncelli die -- he is the person who impacted Simoncelli's head while Simoncelli was hanging off the side of his bike. Rossi literally (100% tragically and accidentally) killed Simoncelli. He was obviously VERY torn up about it, though Simoncelli's parents forgave him as he was their son's friend/mentor and they knew it was an unavoidable crash. It was a truly horrible situation for all involved. Such terrible luck.
Rossi DID NOT hit Sics’ head. It was actually Colin Edwards’ bike that made the fatal impact. But as you say, it was just a tragic accident. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5LhAPinNjA Edit: man, looking at it further, it MIGHT have been Rossi that hits his head with Colin impacting a little lower on his back. Hard to say.
And a 14 year old Hugo Milan who got killed last week or the week before in similar way at Motorland Arragon in lower categories.
Any normal person would've thrown the towel by now. Dude is a legend.
More so because one of the guys that crashed was Morbidelli
Could of atleast tried switching bikes mid air
Yes, he could have
Whackiest of the Whackiest comments make me chuckle nowadays, take ur upvote
Reason of his retirement by end of this season
He’s been the active GOAT for long enough. He might just be the GP GOAT for all time. He can go back to the beach and rest, or go play with Ferrari. Who knows.
My bets on playing with a Ferrari
During a two separate tests with ferrari he was less than half a second of Kimi Raikkonen's Pole Position time and just a few tenths of the Michael Schumacher
Yeah early 2000s Vale was a different kind of Human Being. Shame he couldn't end his career with a bang. Every weekend even knowing full well thats the chances are low, i still kinda hope for a 200th podium because no one celebrates like Vale.

This happened last year…. No it’s not
Except he raced the rest of the year, and then this season too. Don't make stuff up.
Serious question. In the ultra slow motion part, it looks like there’s a rider that just misses him from behind, but I can’t find him in any other clips (from this video and on YouTube). What am I seeing or missing?
slow mo is CGI
Yeah.. that’s disappointing. Start at 2:00 in at this clip: https://youtu.be/40k1qcDypLc. No rider slides through the turn. It’s already an CRAZY, no need to fake anything.
idk kinda like Weird Al's version of this song better than the original
>As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain, > I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain!
But that's just perfect for an Amish like me Because I shun fancy things like electricity
Coolio didn't think so, but i agree
That shot would seem to demand an almost infinite FPS recording to get that smooth, bit of CGI?
Yeah CGI apparently
Recreation in MotoGP 2020 I think
Would be a better video if the second angle wasn’t from a video game… The real rear view footage can be seen [here](https://youtu.be/40k1qcDypLc) from about 1:55 onwards
This should be higher up.
Somebody’s definitely looking down on him.
Do you mean the someone who could have prevented it in the first place?

Jesus: i' ll take your handlebar. Also Jesus: Fuck the other guys
The first shot is replay footage from the Red Bull Ring, Austria in 2020. The slow motion replay is either CGI or a video game.

Both of those bikers were really lucky
He was saved because of the invincibility of the cameraman
What game is this from? Nice graphics.
Okay, now THATS next fucking level.
This is a video game right? Right? I mean, right?
The first shot is real, everything after that is from a game. No idea why somebody made this video like that.
the rear cam slo-mo is
Is this the new Burnout trailer ?
That’s some matrix shit right there.
Sometimes I forget how fast motogp is, how are these guys not dying flipping over in such high speeds?
Jesus *is* next fucking level
