Without A Doubt The Best Save We've Ever Seen!
If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a million times: nine times out of 10 Moto3 racing provides the most excitement of the three world championship classes (however, our own Bruce Allen does a great job breaking down the MotoGP race). The riders are full of youth and enthusiasm, they race close, and sometimes they practice their motocross skills in the middle of a race!
Such was the case for Jakub Kornfeil. In a heated battle for position during the French Grand Prix, Enea Bastianini lowsided right in front of Kornfeil, and with nowhere to go JK84 had no choice but to use Bastianini’s downed bike as a launch pad to clear a non-existent triple. The best part? He landed on both wheels and kept racing (you can even see the airbag in his suit inflate)!
Without a doubt, this is the most amazing save we’ve ever seen at Motorcycle.com. Check out the sequence of events below. We dare you to tell us you’re not impressed.
Troy's been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.

Jakup spent a lot of good karma making that save. Not to mention his innate lower center of gravity with the ballz weighing him down.
I already forgot who won the (Good) race, I'll never forget that.
