Rightly so.

But punching his skid lid - that's funny..

There was an incident last year in moto2 IIRC..
A rider manages to pass to the right of a rider and reaches over to grab a handful ( I mean “ a handful !! ) of his front brake..!
Feckin insane...

This one? Bonkers.

Wow. What are these riders thinking. No respect for the safety of their competitors, or themselves. I'd imagine a 2 year ban will mean nethier will likely be seen in anything above amateur level racing again..

 

[midlifecrisis]

As an avid motorcycle racing watcher of over 30 years from club to MotoGP racing, I can't understand why the first two were banned for two years. Especially the second guys as he just shoved the helmet puncher. Unless there was previous history from other races.
As for Romano Fernati the brake grab should have been a longer ban but he's back racing in Moto3! He's a talented racer but hot-headed, more so than your average Italian.

Ahh, this was D Tusk on the Kawasaki, riding for team Europe, implementing the manual braking technique (during the testing phase of the new and yet to be implemented Eu legislation) as the rider ( Uriah Kingdom, or Uk for short) parallel was clearly speeding at 73 mph in a 70limit.
The new system to be triggered in 2022 will be more automated.
8?

The more observant of you, (no need to point out this to SMDRP members), will note that Tusk -team Europe, was riding his lucky number ........unlucky for others.
A deceitful goading attempt......

Note the attempted censorship too.
Turn 7
Was in fact quite clearly Tusk 13.

Cheers Wattie PM.

Wattie, ever thought people might be considering remaining because hardcore Brexiteers such as yourself come across a little, how shall we say, obsessed?

Please can you please refrain from shoehorning EU analogies into every topic on the forum.

I fear you risk being described as an overexcitable little chappie by Mr Bercow.

I thought he announced he was retiring. Amazed to hear he is back in any form of racing

Pecan you please refrain from shoehorning EU analogies into every topic on the forum.

Not really to 1 and 2, you voted I voted.(over 2 years ago) You lost.....it’s too late to consider remaining isn’t it?

Pecan, r u nuts?

Mr Bercow doesn’t know who I am. You do, you’re getting a little overexcited.

Edited to remove the nut reference.

Beware focussing all your energies on this one topic at the expense of all others... advice the government perhaps should have regard for.

On topic, @midlifecrisis I believe there had been shenanigans between the two riders earlier in the race and I cannot recall punches, as opposed to verbal exchanges, being exchanged on track since Piquet and Salazar. And even then they did not result in a competitor crossing the track in front of other racers.

Well, I for one am not going to focus on your nuts.
Re the Govt, they’re still learning to read so your advice is wasted.
The rest sounds like something May negotiated and agreed to.
