6. Chad Reed At Millville, 2011
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC4f9TCg4zw Chad Reed was making a massive statement in 2011. He was riding for himself after many critics had written the Australian off. However, he started the 2011 season with a bang and was winning races against the best riders in the sport. It would not be his success that would be the highlight of Reeds 2011. Instead, a horrific crash at the Millville national would be the talking point. In an interview with motorcycle-usa.com, Reed said: It was like... business as usual, you know. We won the first one. I got a good start in the second one and I was trying to go for it. I made a pass for the lead and at that point I was like sweet. The next breath of air Im flying through the air without a motorcycle and Im thinking what the hell just happened? It was brutal and scary actually. I was pretty beat up. Reed somehow managed to get up and finish the race, scoring six valuable points. This is arguably the most famous crash in recent years.
