Casey Stoner wasn't great in the lower ranks, and Quattro didn't set Moto2 on fire, but here he is, winning races, tattooing his own face on his body and leading the championship. Anything can happen, the bike and rider just have to gel.
I think the rules should say, that if we can see your nipples, you get a black flag. I mean if the zipper is down 2”, let him race, but your nipple is catching some camera time, you’re coming in.
Prevention is easy, zip the leathers all the way up and make sure the zipper pull is secured flat to the zipper with the provided leather tab.
If we had the access to cameras that the pro racing sanctioning bodies have I'd rescind that rule. The amount of things they can see on a bike/rider is truly amazing and they can make the call then to pull them in or let them go.
You are thinking rationally, obviously that did not work on attempt #1. They could have someone from the team on the grid inspect but I have to believe that would fly like a lead balloon with riders. I was thinking more like a snap for the pull, some idiot resistant mechanism.
The current mechanism is idiot proof, so they need to figure out how to get the rider/team bumped up to idiot status
Hopefully a bunch of money too. But, you would have to fly more, hopefully they would upgrade you to those lay flat business class seats.
I'd rather have regular first. Got a free upgrade to those on a run out west and they're damn near as bad on my shoulders as back of the bus Actually I think it would have been okay solo but putting the divider down between me and the boss just messed up where I could put my arm on that side. A bunch more money wouldn't actually be hard to do either
