There is no f'n way he saved that.  Not possible.  Can't be done. 

Seriously?!?

Redefining the word Alien.

That is unbelievable, how the heck did he do that?

uh..... isn't that how Marco died?

Next challenge: sliding the suit hump.

"Marc Marquez did not just test Hondas, he also ended up testing his leathers. The Spaniard lost the front at Turn 10 â€" aptly named Schwantz corner â€" the fold wheel folding completely. Arm and shoulder hit the ground, but Marquez had the presence of mind to open the throttle a little. This was just enough to lift the back back onto its wheels, and have both tires grip again. Half-hanging off the bike, Marquez opened the throttle some more, the bike's momentum hauling it upright, and Marquez could pull himself back into the saddle. It is an amazing save, with a fair sprinkling of luck and a massive dose of talent. A brief sequence of the crash caught by a photographer is up on Marquez' Facebook page."

Freaking ridiculous... had the reflexes to open up the throttle just enough to save it and then follow it through.

 

Amazing (and lucky)!

Marco shot back to the inside of the track out of control though.

And, at that point, was being dragged by the bike. So a little bit of yes and a bit of no. I think it is just true racer instinct to try to save things.

Anyone know of a link to a video of MM's theatric save?

No video that I've heard of.

It was during testing on Monday, so I suspect this sequence is all there is.

mm got lucky and regained front and rear grip at the same time,  marco was unlucky and front grip first, causing the bike, and himself to come back into the racing line.
it's cool to see a guy save it, but i cringe evertime because of what happened to super sic.

Sure is it open up the throttle and not counter-steering that front wheel?
