What is coming on right now then? A reshow of race one? Or is this race two? I jsut wathced the end of race1 (was napping when it came on)
BRNO is on now...betting they are going to break in with some talking head Pocono nascrap endless recap
WTF sonofabitch the info says Silverstone and they are playing the damn Brno race. Good lord another email to these morons at Speed.
Probably weather delayed and not enough time to produce it with stupid music over the winner interview. Really annoying.
The crawl at the bottom of the screen explained for those who can read... Race 2 from Silverstone will be at midnight ET. See if you can get your VCR to stop flashing and record it.
Technically, by the time he was on his back, he was celebrating. He lost the rear at the line. Meanwhile, I think Giuliano will probably refrain from celebratory wheelies for a few months. I'm pretty sure this one got his attention.
NO doubt. Can you imagine if he had set that down just half a second later :eek I was wondering if the two that crashed were still with their bikes when they crossed. Isnt it a rule that they have to be or something like that? I am pretty sure they were regardless, once I watched the replays, but at first was sure wondering if they would get credited for their finishes
Watch where the flagman is. He is right at the line. The first guy crashes as his rear wheel passes the line. Rea goes down well clear of the line.
for curiosities sake, had they slid across the line rather than riding across, they would not have counted right?
In the car world so long as car and driver are not assisted it's legal. Backwards, forwards, pushing or sliding on the roof are all legal.
If he was in contact with the bike, it would have counted anyway. They read the rule on the air here. It doesn't specify which part of your body has to be touching the bike.
