I heard that he'd had a nasty crash - but I didn't see any footage of it.

Read above - we had ring-side seats!

Ah right I see where you were hiding now
 Those shots in the pits, how did you manage to get in so close with a lens that wide then? I didn't see you jump over the barrier

Was literally right up to the barrier and "zooming in" to 22mm a lot of the time. Once at the barrier itself, if you leaned over as much as possible then things were fairly close. For the shot of Tiff, he was probably two feet from me.
Also very happy with the shots inside the museum as I was using a monopod for stability with long exposures down to 1/6s in some cases. The lens really helped here as I could get right up close to stuff yet still fit it all in, which prevented people walking in front of me. My mates were having to back off to fit stuff in which inevitably means people wander in front whilst you're trying to take the shot.
