Pre-crash photos

I'm in a sick and twisted mood. I'd like to see some action photos just pre-crash. The more subtle, the better.

I'll lead it off:

You're right, this is pretty twisted. I didn't really get what you meant by subtle because to me, the pic posted looked just like any other race pic, except maybe the road was a little wet. However, after looking at it a little closer, I now understand.

Still twisted, though.

I saw it right away. No. I cringed right away.

Not very subtle but at least pre-crash.

Hey this is Mr. Scrooby's pic. I like the after-crash too.

That would be Albert Einstein, at least since 1916.

Note Cipo's handlebar between the spokes of the other bike's rear wheel. No getting out of that one.

Also, great look on Boonen's face..
