Agaricus bisporus
An amazing recovery certainly, but surely the worlds greatest pilot wouldn't have made the cock and flown himself into the water...What a load of bolleaux.
The fella made a mistake like anyone can in a race and was
staggeringly lucky to get away with it. He may be the worlds best pilot, who knows, but this incident certainly didn't prove or indeed even suggest anything of the kind. Sorry.
I agree; he did well to recover the situation, however if he is the worlds greatest pilot why did he allow himself to get into that postion in the first place
