Death Defying

Considered one of the most exhilarating sports in the world, moto GP captivates the world with its speed and precision. But it’s that same speed and precision that makes it dangerous, with an accident and near-death experience happening in almost every race.

But the racers have become accustomed to this and have developed an almost sixth sense-like instinct for ejecting themselves when danger is around the corner. It’s fascinating considering that you can’t practice for these things, making it as mentally instinctive as the photographer’s timing in taking this photo just as it looks like the rider is standing on his bike.
