With Marco Melandri taking his first exciting World Superbike win in race 1 at Donington Park, many may have overlooked the incredible thing that happened to Superbike newbie Maxime Berger, the rear rim shattered and the whole wheel fell off! Fortunately for the Supersonic Ducati rider it happened at low speed or the consequences would have been a lot worse.
Maxime Berger said, “I’m disappointed and incredulous.
I never had to stop twice for so two strange reasons.
The ring broke and I was lucky because it broke into a slow corner.
I found myself on the ground without knowing what happened.
” What happened to Berger brought back memories of what happened to Robert Dunlop during the 1994 TT.
