maybe he does not know how to go slowlaugh.png

Got his shoelace caught on the footpeg.

Happens to us all, once.

...been there, done that...

That is why I ride 150cc now.clap2.gif

One of the guys in our neighbor hood rolled over a piece of Styrofoam and down he went screwed up shoulder now lucky he had his helmet on took a knock to head as well

It looked like the bike stalled- it's not meant to be ridden that slowly, I guess.wink.png

Judicious use of the clutch can forestall stalling...so to speak.

I still fall down, facepalm.gif, but at least I can right the bike unaided.

Dropped my 650KLR once while loading onto a trailor & had to hire 2 lads to help me.

They were quite amused of course.

The biggest bike problem in Pattaya is the sand on the roads after rain. You have to be very careful or you can fall off!

Agree. Even a small almost invisible skim of sand can be quite 'exciting.'

Rossi won in Australia. Pedrosa is probably hoping next GP will be better for him!

I dont think it matters much now....

When Iannone clipped him today he did not even fall but went back to the pits with a rear wheel problem & retired.

I dont understand Repsol's thinking since MM has already secured the World Championship this year but Dani was a contender for 2nd overall

for the year. Could have been a 1-2 for Honda

They could have changed his wheel or let him take the 2nd bike. Some points would have been better than none.

As it stands now it is Rossi & Lorenzo who will likely fight for 2nd & 3rd in the WC standings

Odd day with Marquez, Pole Espagaro & Cal all crashing basically the same way. (Lose the front under braking.)

Phillip Island is notoriously hard on tires

But good race & good for Smiths 1st GP podium as well as an all Yamaha Podium.

According to the Spanish press, they were going to change the rear wheel on Dani's bike, but noticed that the swing arm was also bent so it got wheeled back into the garage and game over.

Thanks O&O yes I saw that too but still...

His 2nd bike was sitting there & already warmed up as they thought weather may change

That pit crew could have swapped out the wets for drys before he even reached the pit.

Albeit maybe suspension/brakes would be tuned different but still some points when they are so important.

Thing is I think he is basically out of the hunt now completely as only

Sepang & Valencia remain ...Jorge has 17 points on him & Rossi has 25

But I guess it is never over till its over & we never know. Rossi or Jorge could crash out

They're not allowed to swap bikes unless the race is declared flag to flag due to a change in weather conditions and the white flag with a red X is shown.

I always thought in GP class they could if the machine was damaged but made it back to the box

But looking thru the 2014 GP regs I see it is only if damage is sustained on warm up lap

Any rider who encounters a problem with his machine on the warm up

lap may return to the pit lane and make repairs or change machine

in MotoGP only
