Crash on Putnam corner 10

I crashed on Sunday 10-17 Nesba event.
Was corner 10, last round of the day, Intermedium.
Wondering if my speed was bad or just took a wrong line.
I was recording all my laps and checked always go through that corner at 84-86, never at 92mph.

Someone said me i just pointed the wrong apex.

Looks like you tagged the rumble strip with the front tire.

+1 It looks like you turned into 10 too soon and didn't get out of it when headed for the rumble strip.

What gear, particularly boots, did you have on? Is that just swelling from a thump or is something broken?

Looks like your frame slider did a reasonably good job. Who made your clutch cover slider? An OEM muffler and race bodywork sounds like an odd combination, if that's what it is.

I was wearing an AGV two piece suit, and Sidi Vertigo Corsa boots, short Joe Rocket Sizuki Vertical gloves
X-ray said nothing broken but theres a fisure in the fibula, by the ankle, have been inmovilized for 3-4 weeks.
Frame slider is from Motovation and the clutch slider one is from Mothracing and the other is from Woodcraft.
Theres another front fork slider from Mothracing who worked pretty well protecting the fork.

Yup, looks like you hit that rumble strip with too much lean.

Wow, I'm going to stop bitching about how I made out in a similar crash at similar speeds in Calabogie. Other than a cracked top fairing stay and a replaced left footpeg, I ripped a swingarm spool tab off. But compared to yours, I got off really light... sore shoulder is all I ended up with.
