In almost every Grand Prix season some rider breaks a certain record and this year was no different.
We’re not talking about Valentino Rossi’s 373 points earned in just one season or Casey Stoner’s circuit breaking lap records, but the number of crashes.
876 to be precise.
Between free practices, qualifying and races, the 125cc, 250cc and Motogp series logged up this amazing but frightening number.

This is an average of 48 crashes for each race weekend.

It is however true that this was the wettest season in the history of the series, with 16 out of 18 GP’s having at least one day of rain in the official three days.
Who heads the list of the most crashes in 2008? Randy DePuniet with 22 crashes in Motogp, Mattia Pasini and Karel Abraham with an equal but unenviable record of 23 in the 250cc class, Bradley Smith and Jules Cluzel who share 19 each in 125cc’s.
