Watching the stream, it looked like Lawson went in first and Tobias went in and got tangled up with both bikes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went off track in ambulance but took his other rides Edited April 6 by THE DEAN MACHINE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
