2009 World Superbike Round 10 - Brno (Race Spoilers)

[El Matador]

Can't resist since you opened up the Days of Thunder can.  Xerox team orders:  Put the rookie into the wall.   

You really think that?

Pedrosa-ed

Doubt anyone really thinks that was intentional, but perhaps stupid riding should get penalized too, not just the intentional stuff. Unsafe is unsafe.
I don't want to see the extreme of regulation that we see in F1, but damn, that was a moronic move by Fabrizio.
If Michel gets taken out in another race, I hope someone says to him,"Fabrizio, Don Spies sends his regards."

...the "ben, i love you" sign was pretty cute.

he also took full responsibility http://www.crash.net/world+superbikes/news/150384/1/fabrizio_my_fault_i_need_to_stay_calmer.html

I don't know if it was THAT stupid of a move. He had pulled alongside Spies, but Spies looked like he was squaring off the corner more than everyone else throughout the race...so Fabrizio ducked inside and then realized he was gonna run out of track or hit Spies, and tried to slow down a little tucking the front.

Agreed...it was a dumb move trying to force it in there, but if it had happened on the last lap we might be saying that's racing. Surely doesn't deserve a penalty.

How long did it take you to make it?

Which is basically what the announcers were calling too. Just hard racing. Had Ben run a little wider they could have made it but things are happening very fast  and you only have so much time and so much room. I don't think it was exactly like the Pedrosa move where Danny was accelerating up from underneath and inside of Hayden. In this case the speeds were matched.

huh?  i can't understand you when you try to speak from inside shakey's bum...

 



...and did you see the sign i'm talking about?

This move right here was a lot worse, in stupidity terms, but he gets praised instead?



It's just racing man, shit happens.

do you recall the last corner of Valencia last year?  checa went for it, took out Neukirchner, lanzi was gifted the win.  shit like that happens... the bonehead factor in Brno was when it happened.

Now that I think about it, it's Spies fault! If he wasn't so damn fast Fabrizio could have put a clean pass on him!

Mmmmf, mmmf... Make that Haslam's bum.

I didn't see the sign, where you watching Eurosport or Speed? (I watched Eurosport)

I think I haven't learned to appreciate Fabrizio's sense of humor.  That sign made we wanna jam a breaker bar up his ass.

oh so you've finally given up on shakey too..?   


i watched Speed this time... as the coverage for race 2 was starting the first time the camera went to fab he was holding up a little sign that said, "Ben, I love you."

given the very apologetic look on his face and the inherent language problem, it seemed genuine to me
