Bat In Your Belfry? No Butterfly In My Helmet
8/18/2009 6:09 AM
We all hear and read how difficult it is to drive a stock car with some oil on their wind screen or the sun their eyes, but how would you have liked to be Moto GP racer Alex de Andelis Sunday at Brno? Five laps from the finish a live butterfly got trapped inside his helmet!
He was in nineth racing for seventh when it happened, but was quickly overtaken by two riders.
I wondered where it went suddenly.
These guys run inches apart at speeds in excess of 200mph.
