EWC 2016 - 8 Hours of Oschersleben

During the Bro race weekend, Tech 3 boss Hervé Poncharal expressed several times on Eurosport France his displeasure with Bradley Smith's choice of extracurricular activities on the only off weekend in a long stretch.

This is going to be one of those times when a cold stare says so much more open "I told you so."

At least, the femur is not broken.

 

I read this morning about the suspected broken femur. Good thing he already has a contract for next year. I wonder if he still get paid for MotoGP races he missed due to injuries sustained racing for someone else?

 

Yamaha are happy with him doing it. They're hoping he can help them snatched the title. It's Hervé who isn't too excited.

 

Hell does Smith have any reason to care about his opinion anymore?

 

I would think so. He's the only reason he is riding the big bikes.

 

I can't stand a repeat of Portimao. I won't have it!

 

They have a very good relationship. And even if they didn't, Bradley Smith seems like someone smart enough to know not to burn bridges.

 

I see your point, I guess I'm just use to watching f1 where burning bridges and ignoring the people who helped you reach f1 is the norm

 

Team Cretu in 15th. And eff Yamahaha!

 

I'm putting my best juju on SERT.

 

They're on a yamahoho.

 

Dangit. One lousy lap down. Come on!

 

Was there an oil down going into a corner at some point earlier that caused multiple crashes and Mahias(GMT) to run off? Just saw a highlight and it looked like a junkyard in the gravel trap.

 

Yup, oil.

 

Did GMT have an unexpected pit stop or are they still pitting more frequently than everyone else?

 

Shorter stints. YART's factory engine better on fuel.

Fuck #46!!!

 

Temperature cooling down. Dunlops coming alive. David's lighting up the after-burners.

 

I saw they stopped on course, but did something else happen?

 

He parked it on the racing line in the middle of a corner while trying to figure out what was wrong. David had to take evasive action to the inside.

 

YART in trouble!
