English term or phrase: over-jump
In the second race I didn't have as good a start, but still near the front, I went to third position, but ***over jumped*** and I was having trouble holding on with my hands.

Weiß jemand, was der Fahrer hier gemacht haben könnte?
Herzlichen Dank!

Explanation:
...with the result that the bike almost somersaults, and - well, you WOULD find it difficult to hold on, wouldn't you?
