    The red flag didn’t come out until after I was through turn 1 the next lap. We assumed it was for the crash between hobbs/Barry until watching the replay a couple times and seeing the original crasher sitting in the runoff

    Wow, that’s crazy actually. The Yellow was definitely out and the replay shows the red was out (maybe just coming out) right as you were entering turn 1. Seems like a late call to throw the red with a rider and 2 corner workers in the highest speed impact zone on the track as the leaders were approaching. @Mongo ? What do you think, late red for the situation?

    That was already posted but judging by some of his replies on Twitter I wouldn't be shocked if he was done

    So sounds like Kyle Wynan has a chance to get a factory Ducati ride...

    I bet Harley is paying him more than HSBK would. I wonder if would drop them to race a SBK again, but I doubt.

    HSBK is well documented to toss their rider when things begin to go south and I've heard rumblings that their supersport entry was a paid seat a couple years ago

    Wouldn't it be hilarious if Petrux really did say screw it and left mid-season and Elias took his seat...??? I mean Toni was very vocal he wants back on the grid.

    Ducati gets serious and invests in the series in their biggest market. They are currently the Moto America SBK points leader, and their rider has a temper tantrum and threatens to quit the series.... I think Paolo Ciabatti needs to have a talk with his boy and assign him a handler.

    That's just silly. He obviously has an unrealistic expectation when he doesn't need help and gets bitchy. I don't care what his experience is as a rider or his unrealistic expectations are.

    What can they say? The people who can use logic get it and the rest will bitch no matter what.

    No information to be had at that point. Announcers always speculate on weird shit, it's like the have that ability built into them.

    But quite simply if you were watching the video, by the time they showed the winners circle you had already seen him get up and walk across the track.

    Also for all - from an eyewitness, he got a ride to medical in a UTV well before he walked the hundred yards to pit out.

    How did you acquire this knowledge?
    Didn't he say that he ran off the track trying to avoid the guy in front of him? I know that all of you guys are superheroes who can assess the difference between 30 seconds and two minutes immediately after sliding on your asses at 170 mph but I'm thinking, and just hear me out here, that you might have a boner for him and will tell yourself whatever it takes to justify that. :D

    How in the world do you come to that conclusion? There is not one single thing in what they showed that could lead you to believe that. The rider was up and fine, how does that equate to not caring?

    Most of that is the camera showed it at a weird angle, that rider was pretty far to the left. Technically an impact zone of course but not a normal one at all, I'd even guess they had gotten up and moved there as the bikes almost always crash where the leaders did or further into the turn.
