Jules Cluzel crash count.

*SIGH*

Retweeted Paul Denning (@Paul_Denning): Well Valentines day was fun - 3 huge crashes, 50k parts bill, 1 trip to hospital with @JulesCluzel16 2am return to hotel. But we were fast!!

 

Hope he gets his crashing out of the way in pre-season testing. Wow $50k in one day. Life of a big time racer!

 

Jules Cluzel - French for John Hopkins

 

Wow! How much is the purse for most crash damage in one day?

 

Denning is a poophead.

anyways, I think it was that dude that started American Roadracing that said "you can teach them not to crash but you can't teach fast" or something like that.

 

He's just padding his stats in the hopes of someday being honored w/ the FIM's "Ruben Xaus Lifetime Achievement Award".

 

Hansen was the guy at AR, and Denning is a putz.

 

JU was the guy at AR.

 

I was all giddy when Jules was signed till someone reminded me he had a flair for dramatic exits from the racetrack.

 

I think one of the crashes was Camier though.

 

the french have a knack for it.

rdp!

 

How much was this crash? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgsbkTsaunU

 

That'll buff right out.

 

shiiiiiiiiiiit....:wow:

 

Looks like one of the front rotors might be ok.

 

I heard the MoTec dash was still in one piece afterwards...

 

I'm guessing around (-)$50K! D'oh!

 

Yeah, that was the one that mysteriously disappeared, right?

 

A few years ago, Dong Doyle was at Indy watching the GP. Cluzel took the lead in whatever class he was racing at the time (Moto 2, I think). I figured you guys across the Atlantic didn't know him like we do here yet, so I decided to impress the shit out of Doyle. I sent him a text saying something like "keep your eyes on Cluzel. The way he's riding, he will be down within minutes." He didn't last two laps. Doyle and his buddies at the track thought I was the king of MotoGP analysts.

 

Apparently Camier wadded up another bike today.
