Everyone falls off of their 
bikes one point of their riding life. And it will be more often if you race.
Moto2 rider, Raffaele de Rosa won this year’s not wanted title of being the top crasher.
De Rosa rode for Herve Poncharal’s Tech3 Moto2 team this season (and will be with G22 Racing Team in 2011) racked up the record of 22 falls between practices, qualifying and races taking the 1st spot. He is probably well-known for this 2009 save.
2010 marks the first year of very competitive Moto2 class and they have over 40 riders on the grid so that might have contributed the number of crash in the class. Not to mention Shoya Tomizawa, the Japanese rider who won the first Moto2 race but the first one to lose his life in Moto2 as well.
Second place goes to Malaysian Air Asia 125cc rider Zulfahmi Khairuddin who crashed 17 times, and the third place goes to MotoGP 
rookie Marco Simoncelli with his 13 crashes. Luckily he has been wearing Dainese Airbag suit.
According to the unofficial stats, 825, up 182 from 2009’s 642, with this year’s rainy Estoril slewing up 130 crashes in the entire weekend, but the 2008 GP racing season still holds the record with 876.
It is okay to fall off many times as long as you can git back on the saddle right away. You may damage the bike, but it is only bike. You can replace it with just money.
