How could you prepare for that course though? He was a competent competitor to qualify for the olympics, but that course was designed to be faster than anything on the planet. You can't prepare for the fastest ever made when the host country bans outsiders from it.
He had a wreck and the idiot designers of the course had metal structure objects in the crash zone without any sort of protection. If someone is going to come off the track, it's right where they had the structure.
When I go to the gap, even I know not to park my bike in the crash zone when I stop to talk to the photographers. It's just asking for your bike to get taken out by someone who loses it in the corner.
