Just hearing 'crash at Greeba Bridge' sends a chill down my spine. The Isle of Man is a public-road race — zero room for mistakes from corner entry to exit. Sallustro was sitting 13th, a real contender, so I get exactly how heavy that moment felt when the red flag came out. Hoping he recovers clean and gets back out there.

What does a red flag actually mean?

It's the signal to stop the race when things get dangerous.

13th at 104mph, guy clearly had real pace.

Public road racing really is terrifying, ngl.

The Isle of Man's always lived with that risk, though.

Hope everyone's okay after that crash at Greeba Bridge.
