Anyone know what happened to Camier in race two at Valencia? It was
really a really odd crash which made me think there was a brake
failure or stuck throttle or a clipped brake leverl or something like
that. Unfortunately the TV didn't pick up the beginning and the
announcers were no help.
Also, what happened to Andrews? Is he OK? I'm assuming he hit oil
from Iannuzzo otherwise he wouldn't have crashed in a straight line.
Again, the announcers weren't any help as I think all their
explanations were edited out of the time delay in Speed's coverage.

With regards to Andrews, they said he was hit by another rider.
They didn't go into much detail, and I don't know if that is truly what
happened, but it was apparently a 2 bike accident.
I don't know why Camier went down.

I watched it again last night. While he's out of shot when the crash
starts, you can see him running wide towards the kerb before that.
I'd bet money that he ran his front wheel onto or over the kerb and
lost the front end.
