MotoGP 250 cc Brno 2009 - Alvaro Bautista wrecks his bike on lap of honor

I saw that earlier, but I like the commentary on this one the best so far... "Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye...."

I thought it was gonna be a clip of the tank slapper he saved during the race. This almost undoes the coolness of that save.

2 huge moments in one day. Like adrenaline much? Just jump out of an airplane while juggling flaming chainsaws.

I watched him go into the pits riding cupcake with another racer. The pit crew stood there hands in the air, like, "where's the bike, you just came in 3rd?"
I would have loved to see him explain that to the mechanics crew.        

He's going  to be living with that one for  a while.

I'm sure he'll be teased but I'd be surprised if it was bad. I wouldn't care one bit. I'd be thinking "I'm a world class racer. I get results for the sponsors. I actually got more airtime by placing 3rd and then doing something stupid than with just a 3rd place. Nobody's perfect."

Actually, I'd go a step further. I wouldn't mind if I was known as the guy that fell on the way to the garage all the time. As long as I was getting enough points to keep my ride.

I smell a trend!

First it was Rossi hanging a leg off on hard braking..

Now race winners are all going to wreck their bikes on the victory lap..
