Swiss motorcycle racer dies after race win
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- A Swiss motorcyclist was killed after colliding with another rider only moments after winning a race, track officials said Saturday in a statement.
Pascal Grosjean, 39, had crossed the line Friday and slowed to celebrate winning a Sportsbike Championship race when third-place finisher Tony Jordan ran into him at about 124 mph, throwing both riders to the tarmac at the Dubai Autodrome. http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/racing...ory?id=5854549

Post win celebrations aren't allowed in Football...and they're not nearly as potentially dangerous.
Cool-down lap. Watch it be more diligently enforced now.
