The Crash

Dave Joanis has mechanical trouble on the face of the jump - Nose dives hard in the air. Joey Sagan (rear) does his best to avoid the fallen rider but lands on or very near him. Both riders sustain injuries but it could have been much worse.

Weather was quite a factor that night. Hard blowing snow made flash useage impossible. Cranked up the ISO and make the best of it.

CSRA Race event, Georgian Downs Barrie Ontario.

Dave has a badly bruised Knee and badly bruised ribs. Joey when he tried to eject ended up breaking his Tibia, and had a rod put in. So they're both hurt, but it could have been alot worse for Dave. Joey definately got the short end of the stick. But there was nothing he could do, he was already in the air when Dave was headed to the ground. Unfortunately it happens in racing.
