While this photo probably generated most talk/questions Was taken during the fourth lap of the SouthAfrican Supersport race held early in the season. Many people suggested it was a photoshop result until the photo from the previous lap was used as an image in the programme

To me 2012 was a busy year ... I covered 43 motorsport events and with each raceday every class. Apart from been unable to go abroad for MotoGP or WSBK, the domestic motorsport scene brought my great joy. between all the photos there was one photo which presented itself at the most unexpected...
