Post by: Speeddog on July 22, 2009, 08:35:42 PM I watched it again last night, and at the last second Canepa seems to stand the bike up.
Maybe he heard Nicky yelling. :P Tossed Canepa on his head pretty hard. Title: Re: Nicky practicing his new "tackling" technique...

It almost appears that he ducks, just before Nicky hits him. Title: Re: Nicky practicing his new "tackling" technique... Post by: Rufus120 on July 23, 2009, 11:58:33 AM If it was a new tackling technique he isn't very good at it. Aren't you supposed to tackle facing forward? Not with your back? Either way that's a bummer all around.
