motor just let loose and seized up... not terribly uncommon on the ducati's

also an interesting bike to watch is the Foggy Petronas that Troy Corser is riding, its not a factory bike like the honda or ducati, but they built it just to compete in this race and had to build just enough for the street so they could fall within the rules to race since they have to be production bikes, its cool enough to see a privateer on a bike beat some of the factory guys, but even cooler when its pretty much a privateer built and developed bike, it stole on podium from the factory boys already this season
