The Alvaro Bautista Crash Count (Spoilers)

He got a factory ride because....

 

Bump for .... well we all know why

 

Down in FP1 @ Phillip Island, good start!

 

Made it farther than Pedrosa this weekend.

Man, that's never gonna get old!

 

Does he go out and crash his car every weekend in the off season?

 

bautossed it

 

I don't know what is says about his tires or suspension but it sold me on my Rev'it suit!

 

Malaysia??????????????

 

There you go... one more for the list.

 

Asparagas took him out.

 

There are two sides to every crash story. Gresini reported that Aleix "pulled in front of Alvaro." Doesn't that also mean that Alvaro ran into the back of him?

There was no video, so who knows.

 

True. But, Aleix walked away from the crash with his head down and not flailing away with angry expressions like when it is someone else's fault.

 

May have to start a crash thread for Pedrobot. He's hitting the deck alot lately.

 

They were not merging onto the highway. It was a braking zone in a race. Odds are good that if the front of my bike comes in contact with the back of your bike entering a corner, it's my fault.

Besides, hard to give a guy benefit of the doubt when he habitually bins it and has a penchant for sharing his gift with others.

 

Bradl "pulled" in front of Dovi at PI. If he didn't hit AE would that have been a good move?

 

Top 3 crashers this year as of the start of the Malaysian GP race (Eurosport numbers):
Pol Espargaro: 15 (12 in practice, 3 races)
Iannone: 11
Bradl/Smith: 10

Bautista is not even next, that would be Marquez (9)

 

Cal's gotta be up there too by now no? I recall how many crashes as opposed to DNF/DNS mechanicals he had?

 

As has been noted previously, anytime a part of Bautista's bike that is not a tire touches the ground, it counts against him.

 

This thread can now be deemed a wrongful persecution.

 

Um no. Read the title. It doesn't say anything about this being a competition. Nobody cares. This is Alvaro's thread.
