Motion blur is frequently employed in sports photography (particularly motor sports) to show a sense of speed. To achieve the effect it is necessary to use a slow shutter speed and pan the lens of the camera in time with the motion of the object. This is quite tricky, but I feel this image captures the sense of motion very well. So yes there are some blurred parts of the bike but it is intentional!! The important part of the face is sharply in focus (you can even see the expression on the guys face.
