I never once got out of my saddle and always gained ground on the corners....but I had a lapse in quick thinking coming out of the final corner and allowed myself to get pinched between 3 inside guys moving out and 1 outside guy moving in...I honestly KNOW I would have been top 3 cause I had so much punch left and was accelerating perfectly but I got a wheel and hit the deck pretty hard on my right hip. couldn't walk. couldn't race the RR (which I had looked 4ward to so much) and went home.
Just got back from the Doc...x-rays negative, crutches for a week then fast track back.
