Tom, how is that the gravel *only* had an effect on Bobby? Everyone else made it
through, no? It's possible that he was the only person to have gone that wide on the
exit, in which case it really wasn't the "fault" of the gravel, but the operator.
Watch the clip again, he appears to be going out around a somewhat darker patch of
pavement (perhaps thinking it was wet) and sees that he's aimed at the curb opposite
with no chance of really making the transition. He turns the bars hard left and
briefly loses the front and then the back comes around. As he's still leaned left,
the bike and him sort of roll to the left. It's pretty hard to make those kinds of
maneuvers and corrections when your arms are on an aero bar.
