only thing I can think of is he got his foot or something in between the road and the fairings and it cracked them... :idk:

plus1 on that.... figuring out what you did wrong and how to improve based on that is what makes a crash go from an expensive mistake to a learning experience.

Question for a few... when i went down i never hit my head(helmet) on the ground on the initial fall but did scrape it across the ground when i slide... do i need to still replace my helmet other than cosmetic??

I would say if there was no 'impact' but just some scraping you are fine. Unless the scraping wore through the protective shell at all. If there's any doubt, I would get it checked out. Either by a helmet shop, or the manufacturer. How bad is it?

From the pics, it just looks like surface/aesthetic damage. They're a little blurry. It looks like you just grazed your head. I doubt the structural integrity of the helmet has been compromised at all.

I would replace that lid. I just wouldn't feel comfortable wearing that again.
