dont want to critize that comment dixn, but if u check Daniels profile.. the so called dad, he's 28.. if his son is 15, that would havem made him 13 when he had his son. so i doubt that really was his dad leavin the comment

Did Simmonds go off the course or was the photographer leaned that far in?

the photographer leaned that far. the riders were taking the outside lines, because of braking bumps, that's why matt was so near to side of the track.

Please dont feel sorry for the photografer. He was inside the "warning-lines" and he should not be in the way of the riders in a race run just for a photo. know the riders run is all blown. Now he has spent a whole week or more of training just so a photographer could be in the way. That sucks!!
