    Biaggi: Donnington.

    I would like to know your views on Biaggi's jump start and then been Black Flagged because of it.
    Even though he did come to a complete stop once he realised that he had jumped the gun before the race had started and then a few laps later was shown the black Flag because of it got me thinking to why didn't they either make him do a ride through penality or deduct his time at the end of the race to which he was still allowed to finish the race.
    Your thoughts?.

    my understanding was he was blackflagged because he didnt do a ride through penalty. Although the comentary didnt make that clear.
    Tough as he didnt gain an advantage but thems the rules

    They're a bit tougher on jump starts at that level, after being advised that he needed to come in for a ride through because of his jump at the start they give a certain amount of laps (3 I think) to serve the penalty. Mr " I'm better than the rest" ignored the rules and was dealt with according to the rules.

    Tough for sure, buts thems the rules.

    He was Black Flagged due to not performing his ride through penalty.

    Let's read the rule book:

    1.19.14
    ...
    Any rider who anticipates the start will be required to carry
    out the ride through Procedure described under article 1.20.
    Anticipation of the start is defined by the motorcycle moving
    forward when the red lights are on. The Race Direction will
    decide if a penalty will be imposed and must arrange for the
    team to be notified of such penalty before the end of the
    fourth lap.

    1.20
    ...
    After notification has been made to the team, a yellow board
    (100cm horizontal X 80 cm vertical) displaying the rider’s number
    (black colour) will be shown at the finish line and the information
    will also be displayed on the time keeping monitors.
    Failure by the relevant rider to ride through, having been shown the
    board 5 times, will result in that rider being shown the black flag.
    In the case where the organisation has been unable to carry out
    the ride through penalty before the end of the race, the relevant
    rider will be inflicted with a time penalty of 20 seconds.

    Agree Tony - But no, not tough. Biaggi is just a jumped up little fag or atleast he appears to be from what I have seen over the years.

    He deserved to get the beats over how he was dealing with Melandri. Was nice to see him have a shit weekend - hope it continues that way too.

    Well if thats the Rules on jumps starts and Biaggi persists on ignoring the rules then Good on them for Black Flagging him. Regardless of what you may think of the Rules they are there and must be abide by all Riders competiting. Those who break them can suffer the consequences.
    Not very proffessional of him.
    Go Checa!!!!!!!

    Actually that is a fair point - he'd have had a clear start without any opponents for 3 or more laps and possibly gotten a good enough jump to end up in the points even after a drive through. Plus it would mess with the other riders minds!

    I like your style sir.

    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.
