What the hell happened. It looked like his tires slipped out from under him while he was almost upright.

Yeah, very similar to what happend in Catalunya in '06 between Cap and Giberneau. Capirossi got fucked up. A bunch of people went down in that turn 1 wreck. It was an impressive wreck.

His team mate, Giberneau swerved left and hit Cap's brake lever. Over the bars he went. It was the start of the race and there was tons of colateral damage, too. Badass.
