Guest Ralph Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 If you watch the slow motion you can see Rossi's leg is pushed into his bike by the Honda he then pushes the it away. Just looking again it seems to be Marques's head that hits Rossi's leg, Rossi then pushes him away. http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2015/Nov/151104morefootage.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregjet Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 That may be true. That bit I missed. I does fit the facts, But in a race you often have your leg out as a feeler to damp any contact. You don't kick away, if for no other reason than it puts you at jeopardy as well. Rossi lost his cool, with good reason, but he lost it. If you are a motoGP racer losing you cool is a BAD thing.

He never kicked away. The video shows that MM's bars knocked Rossi's foot off the peg. The "kicking" motion seen is Rossi's foot slipping off the peg. Life is good on 2 wheels!

gregjet Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 That would fit too. Looked to me like a kick but very fleeting so I couldn't swear to it in a court. Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
