If you read the caption to the photo you would have known that the bike in the top photo was Ago's MV. As far as i know the crash happened shortly after Sarah's if it had happened right at Sarah's ( being a righthander) the damage to the MV would i imagine be to the right handside of the bike and not the left as both the MV's are damage to the leftside. So if Mike used the track just before Sarah's to restart the bike he must have gone against the direction to get to this track also if you look closely at the photo of Mike paddling the MV you can see that the bank where it joins the road on the right of the photo is higher up the photo than the bank on the left suggesting that it's down hill and it also looks like Mike is starting to turn the MV round, it certainly would be hard to paddle the 500 MV uphill to start it, i think down hill being the easier option is what Mike opted for.
