World SBK|ROUND 05|Motul Italian Round|12 - 14 MAY

Chaz with the win. Dominated wining by over 6 secs. Rea and Marco roundnout thr podium.

 

My 6 y/o asked what was so funny...

 

I dont care what the FIM says about that move Lowes pulled with Laverty. That was a Busch league move that could've gotten Eugene killed at a fast part of the track with little run off. Bike exploded into nothing.

 

That was bad. Couldn't pass him clean, so got up on the inside and hit the breaks. Bad move

 

??? I watched it at 7 on Bein.

 

It did play, just a few minutes late.

 

So, Nicky out again. Maybe they should go down to the MV garage and get some reliability tips....

ouch

 

Good thing he had the wherewithal to jump. Otherwise I think that would be a very somber moment.

 

You can see that front brake line flappin' in the breeze.

 

That was horrible. Shocked not to see air fence there. And shocked that they thought that pass was ok.

 

Looks like Lowes learned a move from Rossi, looked like a small kick to me.


Glad Laverty is ok, that could have been bad.

 

What quick thinking by Laverty, that shit happened so fast.

 

You could tell by the look on Lowes's face back in the garage when Hodgson was talking to him he knew he purposely pulled that bullshit. I root for Laverty the most in SBK and liked Lowes but no way after that

 

Holy fook

 

It looked like Lowes lost the front when he was next to him..

Did the brake line get cut on Lowes peg?

 

Scary crash! I don't know if I could have bailed off like that. Glad we didn't see a tragedy!

 

I think Lowes realized how bad this could have been for Laverty. Intentional or not- scary and then some, glad he walked away.

 

I wonder if the fender caught between caliper and pads

The only suspense in race 1 was who would finish 3rd- love wsbk but this was some boring racing.
