MOTO3 ace Jakub Kornfeil produced a stunning escape at the French GP that would not be out of place on Wacky Races.
The Czech rider, 25, used rival Enea Bastianini's crashed bike as a ramp after being left with no chance of going around.
And incredibly he was able to rejoin the race and finish a creditable sixth – only five seconds behind winner Albert Arenas.

“It even activated my leathers’ airbag.
