Default Swiss motorcycle racer dies after race win
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- A Swiss motorcyclist was killed after colliding with another rider only moments after winning a race, track officials said Saturday in a statement.

Pascal Grosjean, 39, had crossed the line Friday and slowed to celebrate winning a Sportsbike Championship race when third-place finisher Tony Jordan ran into him at about 124 mph, throwing both riders to the tarmac at the Dubai Autodrome.

Post win celebrations aren't allowed in Football...and they're not nearly as potentially dangerous.

Cool-down lap.

Watch it be more diligently enforced now.
