Look at that angle! I looked at your exif to see how you got such clarity of the rider and such movement in the track and was so surprised to see that the shutter speed was only 1/50! You must have been panning.

@jyokota Many thanks for great comment Junko, yes indeed a panned shot its the only way, he was possibly doing about 125mph/200km/p coming out of the corner, fast shutter speeds can freeze the motion of the wheels, they get much lower in the dry, see link https://365project.org/pcoulson/365-5/2019-05-25 the top riders even scrape thier elbows on the track:)
