That was a crazy hit! He did a great job saving it and staying on the gas the whole time! and Oh so close to the grass too!!
Didn't get to see the race, but that clip it looks like Dani should be wearing a T-shirt. Maybe WERA could send him one to wear for the next race.
We aren't trying to blame Pedrosa for that are we? Not his fault but still funny. He is such a little bitch.
Blame no, having fun at his expense because he looked like a midget speed bump, yes. (keep in mind that I fully realize that in a 6 lap race he would lap me 7 times)
Ballsy move for De Angelis. Getting stuffed on the exit of a corner is a BALLSY move. How needs more race track when you have a bike burm? I like the look back at pedrosa, what you doin in my way foo
That clip is mesmerizing Pedrosa was riding a bit unpredictably - prob cause of his existing knee injury. Seemed to make it tougher/riskier for guys to pass him.
Holy shit guys, quit with the feeble attempt at putting blame on Pedrosa. He did nothing wrong. You can hate him all you want... most do... but that was in NO WAY his fault. DeAngelis didn't make a ballsy move... he fucked up and nearly took out a competitor. Had he made the pass cleanly then it would have been a ballsy move.
Not sure if this was discussed elsewhere, but, I watched the race last night and it appeared that, shortly before impact, AD's bike slightly wheelied which probably sent him wider than he expected.
DeAngelis was attempting to pass, Pedrosa ran a little wide and started to come back in on the line when DeAngelis drifted out more than anticipated I'd imagine. Honestly I am suprised this doesnt happen a little bit more often...
Hey, you should know about root cause. The root cause of the incident was Dani running wide. Mistakes were made by both after Dani's ran it wide. Dani kept it wide thinking DeA may come in, DeA thought he could and his bike actually ran wide as he got on the throttle, front got light.
DeAngeli wheeled just a bit and it made him run wide, his fault. Ped did a good job staying on especially since it was his hurt leg that took most of the hit. I think it got into his head, stayed at 11th the rest of the race.
Yep, De Angelis did go a little wide as well with the front coming up. Pedrosa was already moving backwards anyway, no way he was gonna stay with De Angelis and Vermeulen. He said he had a prob with the front and almost crashed several times. You could see it in his riding that he wasn't as smooth/predictable as he usually is and something was wrong - whether injury, mechanical, or a combo.
