Take a break and think about it.

How many times have we heard this suggestion at the racetrack? If you crashed or you have almost crashed it’s always a good idea to take a break before jumping again on the bike. At club events so many times we have seen riders crashing more than ones in a few hours window. Maybe they were too aggressive, maybe the tires where getting slippery, …it does not matter. Whatever it's the reason, they have failed in managing the conditions. At this point it’s time to relax and learn the lesson.
We do not know exactly what happened with Valentino Rossi this afternoon, but after suffering a harmless crash that brought out the red flags he decided to call it a day.
