Une dernière couche sur les causes possibles de la chute de Sexton…
Speaking of Sexton, he tossed his goggles after getting dirt in them early in the moto. Not long after he had an awkward crash in a section that didn’t look particularly tricky. Do you think the crash was due to a lack of vision?
I don’t think it was the specific reason but it was certainly a factor. The goggle issue was a huge distraction. Everything suffers when you’re distracted and that’s universal for all aspects of life. Instead of thinking about what he’s doing, he’s squinting from roost, the sun, wind, and also trying to decide whether or not he should pit for a goggle change. Hitting neutral is uncommon, especially in that section, so it’s going to be very difficult (see, impossible) to talk me out of the dynamic not being effected by the goggles. I’ve seen Sexton crash due to hitting neutral once at Seattle but otherwise, this is a rarity. Also, factory transmissions are engineered so that it’s incredibly difficult to accidentally shift into neutral. That speaks to how likely it was that the goggles played a role.
