IMF pulled Fenati's license, unsure if that makes his FIM license invalid as well?

 

Free the 13!

 

Luckily for him, he made his money back in the day as the front man for AlienAntFarm...

 

When Fenati chopped the brakes on 62, he was no longer a...



Smooth Criminal

 

Just like the movies, he played out his last scene.

 

The regulations state, "The rider must be in possession of an “FIM Grand Prix Licence” issued by a FMN." That was the license pulled by IMF. So, Fenati no longer has a valid license for FIM events.

 

I saw a video floating around apparently involving Toni Elias that was similar... not sure what series it was... I'll see if I can track it down

Holy Shit....

 

I remember when Niccolo Canepa did it a while back but in different circumstances. I think he was "coaching" at a TD. Didn't really affect his career. Maybe he was coaching Fenati.

Soo....

MotoGP is like a soap opera nowadays.

 

Crutchlow is one to talk. Had the same background as Ponsson when coming into MotoGP.

 

World Supersport champion?

 

I meant through the race series. Not at GP grown rider. Crutchlow is undisputedly the much better rider but I don't see his deep concerns about Ponsson posing a danger to other riders would be valid. Had he slapped on Xavier Simeons numbers and leathers no one would have noticed a difference. lol

 

DAAAMN!

 

not sure if discussed already, but why did Nicco Canepa get off with no penalty, no fine, no sanction at all (pretty sure) for literally launching a guy off his bike when he grabbed his brake lever... Fanati does same action, but the guy didn't even crash, and he's penalized, dropped from 2 teams, looks as though he will retire, etc.

yea, Fanati had a history of being a hot head, but how the hell did Canepa get off so easy? I read the RRW article where Canepa had claimed "i grabbed his arm" (not the guys lever), and went on to say the rider said it was his fault, all kinds of other crap that (i suspect) was a result of people telling the guy to not ruin Nicco's career, and perhaps was paid off (pure speculation on that point)..

 

Because it was at a trackday, not a FIM sanctioned race weekend.

Papa give us the scoop. How did Ponsson get that ride in the first place?

 

I don't know what to tell you other than nobody who was available wanted it. I mean, Barbera turn them down. Where do you go from there?
