All other points currently being equal, motorbike racing isn't meant to be a get hold of sport. Confident, the very well - utilised saying 'rubbing is racing' applies right here from time to time, but that's the exception, not the rule. And even in that situation, it is the bikes making speak to, not the riders.
All of that tends to make the video below all the more well worth watching. Here's the scene: Tyler O'Hara is in second place behind Michael Barnes, both pilots mounted on Harley-Davidson XR1200 motorcycles, on the final corner of the final lap. The race could not be closer... right up until, that is, O'Hara decides to attain out and touch Barnes in an effort to comprehensive the pass.
It worked. O'Hara slowed Barnes down just enough that he was able to push past and take the win. At least for a little though. The American Motorcyclists Association retroactively gave the victory to Barnes, punishing O'Hara all the way into final spot. If you reside in the US, you can observe the action unfold in the video clip under.
