Crashing unfortunately is part of motorcycle racing, and this year’s not wanted title of being the top crasher, goes to Moto2 rider Raffaele de Rosa.
De Rosa rode for Herve Poncharal’s Tech3 Moto2 team this season (and will be with G22 Racing Team in 2011) racked up the record of 22 falls between practices, qualifying and races taking the 1st spot.

Second place goes to Malaysian Air Asia 125cc rider Zulfahmi Khairuddin who crashed 17 times, and the third spot goes to MotoGP rookie Marco Simoncelli with his 13 crashes.

So just how many crashes were there in 2010? According to the unofficial stats, 825, up 182 from 2009’s 642, with this year’s rainy Estoril slewing up 130 crashes in the entire weekend, but the 2008 GP racing season still holds the record with 876.
