Pics of Haga's spectaular fireball

Motorcycling

Does anyone now where I can get a copy of the flaming accident from a few years back in WSBK where Haga rides through the flames of a bike that’s caught fire?

I used to have this as my wallpaper but unfortunately lost it and I can’t seem to find a decent copy of it anymore…

I would if I could Tim:crazy:

I can’t find anything on it but it was about 7 or 8 years ago on a 500GP bike at Brno I think.

The tarmac was alight and he slid right through the flames:w00t:

Help me out here Jay / Chuffster;)

I believe that the Whitham Crash is in this vid clip of crashes, you cant exactly miss it.

The Haga pick was taken by Tim (their salaried snapper) at Double Red Photography - the official BSB guys. I’ve talked to him a lot and asked him once about it - it’s his screen saver believe it or not.

Apparently he was just shooting the riders as normal when the bike went down and he just kept his finger down (on his Canon 1D Jay, gotta say ;-p). When he chimped the pics after the incident he knew he had a shot that needed to go World-wide asap. He ran back to the media room and the team started distributing it all over the World. The company made a mint off it as you can imagine.

He said the hardest part of the shot was not to stop and watch.
