I guess...

Biggest highside I've seen in a while, he was quite lucky it's no more than
a broken ankle. I know it'd affect my enthusiasm with the throttle hand for
a few weeks, but these guys are so different that it may not...

That's exactly what I said when I saw it. He got some serious "air".

I emailed this it to a race car addict who said, "Damn, bikes are
dangerous!"

Sucks that he will not be 100% for this event, if he races at all.

Can he start the race if he misses all of the Saturday sessions? IIRC, if
he runs the warm-up he can start at the back of the grid(?)

Proof that you can steer the wheels off the ground in the middle of a
chicane?
