these guys really don't like each other. http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2008/Simoncelli+on+cloud+nine+after+home+win http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2008/Barbera+Simoncelli+could+have+killed+me Title: Re: Hector Barbera Does His Best Superman Impression Post by: Pakhan on June 04, 2008, 07:26:12 AM :o devastating, I don't know what's more painful, the crash or the feeling you know he was having squatting on the grass by pit row.
Title: Re: Hector Barbera Does His Best Superman Impression Post by: Rob Hilding on June 04, 2008, 07:35:51 AM I couldn't tell if he hit his brake lever on Simo's bike.
It didn't appear to be a tire. HB is fast but "a bit" erratic - glad he didn't get hurt Title: Re: Hector Barbera Does His Best Superman Impression Post by: derby on June 04, 2008, 08:20:33 AM I couldn't tell if he hit his brake lever on Simo's bike. that's what they're saying happened. Title: Re: Hector Barbera Does His Best Superman Impression Post by: Beattie_Yoo on June 04, 2008, 12:37:39 PM If you replay it and look closely it makes sense that he hit the brake lever.... Notice the smoke coming from the front tire immediately as contact is made(1:02). Also from the other angle (birds eye)(1:12) Simo's tail contacts HB's right hand controls. Also what else makes bikes flip forwards other than locking the front tire?

He definitely swerved to break the draft. I doubt he had that result in mind. Title: Re: Hector Barbera Does His Best Superman Impression Post by: Rob Hilding on June 06, 2008, 07:13:45 AM When Stoppies go wrong :o [evil]
Title: Re: Hector Barbera Does His Best Superman Impression Post by: ROBsS4R on June 06, 2008, 07:51:47 PM Is this all part of racing or was that a A Hole move of the guy? Does this result in any sort of fine or warning ?

Does this result in any sort of fine or warning ? as i said: the (125s and 250s) do that to break the draft of those behind 'em... Title: Re: Hector Barbera Does His Best Superman Impression Post by: Beattie_Yoo on June 07, 2008, 05:05:58 PM not just 125's and 250's...i believe its a common tactic of racers from many different motorsports
Title: Re: Hector Barbera Does His Best Superman Impression Post by: derby on June 07, 2008, 05:40:35 PM not just 125's and 250's...i believe its a common tactic of racers from many different motorsports correct, but more pronounced in the lower displacement classes given their need for momentum. |
