Wow, check out the post-Monza carnage:

-- Corser (BMW) out for next race, replaced by Steve Martin (yes, the announcer Steve Martin).
-- Neukirchner (Suzuki) out, replaced in South Africa by Fonzi Nieto (and fingers crossed, Mladin at Miller -- that's just me talkin')
-- Tamada (Kawi) out for South Africa
-- Brendan Roberts (Guandalini Duc, teammate of Smrz) out for SA, repalced by Lavilla

Can you imagine?  It's new tires (which is a big deal), but he knows the track and knows the '09 gixxer (though not in WSBK-spec).  And we know he can run with Spies . . .

Yeah, a torsional/complex fracture.

I'm sure that didn't feel to great. 

Probably looked something this on the x-ray.

What the hell happened.....my downloaded version did not show this?Huh?

AMAZING PIC!!!....that Honda looks photoshopped in there!  I bet Laconi has his eyes closed as 400lbs of Japanese bike goes flying past his face!.....WOW

Fabrizio's wave was entertaining, but you have to win more than one race (and not by default) to get credit for that kind of cockiness.  Spies will continue to spank his ass.

This season is epic!!!  popcorn

"Race 1 Monza: How on earth, can the type of celebration that the silly Ducati team had, even take place if people have any modesty at all. I can't put into words how bad it looks. Somebody has the race won, and in the last corner he has a technical issue, handing the race to what would have been the first loser and the victory celebration starts."

tbh, while it didn't chap me like apparently it did mat, i thought the same thing.  sure, a win is a win in the books.  and michel needed it.  but here he and tardozzi are, celebrating like he he'd just beaten ben in a straight up fight.  fabrizio didn't win in the sporting sense; he accidentally crossed the finish line first.

the rest of that entry is also worth reading.

I don't know. A win is a win. Michel waving at Ben as he passed him 3 laps to go was pretty damn cocky for sure. Maybe he just wanted to piss him off - who knows... but he played it best and won didn't he.
If you cook your tires pushing hard, if you run out of gas, if if if - it's all part of it.
Sometimes staying out of trouble is worth a win. It all counts. 

Too bad Haga got hit by a bird. No one is saying, Ben won race 2 because of a little help from a bird.
