Watch A Rider Leap Off His Burning Race Bike While It's Still Moving
Team WD40 rider Taylor Mackenzie suffered a fiery retirement in Race 2 of last weekend's British Superbike round at Sentterton, and was forced to leap from his burning Kawasaki ZX10 before the bike came to a stop
Despite taking quite a tumble during this dramatic fire - which brought out the safety car at Snetterton - Mackennzie wasn’t seriously hurt. In fact, he seemed willing to laugh the incident off, if this Tweet is anything to go by:

The WD40 team, meanwhile, announced via Twitter that the fire was caused by an “engine component failure.”
