    Mat Oxley mentioned that in days of yore during endurance races it was considered a great joke to reach across and press the kill switch on a competitors bike, usually on the Mulsanne Straight. Fenati would never have heard of that though, and he wasn't joking.

    When he arrived on the scene they said he was special. I didn't realise they meant special needs. He was already in the Last Chance Saloon and he should be gone.

    Was watching a boxing match once. There was a guy from Canterbury and an Aucklander I think. The Aucklander had been getting a hiding and decided he'd had enough. When the bell rang to start the next round he stayed on his stool. After some hesitation the Canterbury dude went over and started to hit the seated boxer. Auckland man leaped off his stool and aimed a flying kick at his opponent. At that point the ref jumped in to break up the fray so he became the target of some punches. While this was all going on somebody in the Auckland corner tossed a towel into the ring.

    A very exciting sporting TV moment, it had me out of my seat. The announcement that a lfetime ban had been imposed did not take long.

    It's just a bit surprising that the FIM stewards think a two race ban covers Fenati's misdeed.

    Yeah Gaz, I would have said it was about time they got real and built a V4 engine for next year except for the fact that Rins and the Suzuki didn't do too bad for an inline and Suzuki never really mastered the V4 in the GSVR days either.

    My brother tried to do that to me on the 996 once. That was the day he learned that the key barrel isn't on the triple clamp like most modern bikes haha. He gave up and just hit the kill switch instead, which is enough of a gamble on an old Duc'! Who knows if it will start again!? Haha!

    ACTUALLY... Didn't Fenati do that to someone a year or two ago??

    [edit] Yes, yes he did!

    European press is reporting that ex-EBR WSB racer Niccolò Canepa (now racing a Ducati for Althea Racing) is facing a criminal charge in court as a result of an incident at a track day at Mugello in September of 2013. The video below has emerged and appears to show Canepa slapping the front brake lever of a track day participant, apparently due to an argument. Davide Cappato goes down and breaks his collarbone in the crash shown.

    Dovi for the win... Was I right or what? What my crystal bollock did not foretell is what a knobend Fenati could be. A two race ban is a joke.

    Nice work!

    JL < AD.

    Maybe Fenati needs his crystal bollocks removing to calm him down? Probably with a hedge trimmer.

    Y'all will be aware Fenati was headed to MV Agusta next year.

    Here is the statement from MV Agusta. The English looks a bit odd but the writer is Italian after all, he gets his point across though.

    As written:

    " This has been the worst and saddest thing I ever seen in a bike race. True sportsmen would never act this way. If I would be Dorna I would ban him from world racing.

    Regarding is contract for a future position as rider of MV Agusta Moto 2 , I will oppose myself in every way to stop it. It won't happen."

    Red face

    Team Marinelli Snipers have announced that Fenati’s contract is cancelled with immediate effect.

    So the teams have done what the FIM stewards probably should have done.


    ps I’ve no idea where that smiley face came from.

    Yeah, he's gone.. If Dorna and FIM won't do it, he's done it himself. No contract for the rest of the year, no contract for next year, he'd have lost momentum by then and will find it jolly hard to get picked up again. Also, nobody would want to hire him. He's royally fucked his own career!

    Didn't see that coming tbh I think JL could have given him a shot if it weren't for MM doing battle giving him a gap.
    Thats racing though!

    Yup couldn't fuck up more than that!

    I do wonder whether a low budget team struggling to attract a talented rider like Fenati might take a punt on him, it wont be a front running bike though so he's as good as toast.

    Ajo could have died, that would have been more of a fuck up.
    Has he commented his take on the debacle?
