    After colliding with Kallio at Lemans - motogp.com

    Hayden
    "I got unlucky again when Kallio crashed and his bike slid into me. I
    was lucky to save it because the impact was hard..."
    Kallio
    " I reached Hayden and I tried to overtake him on the inside. All of a
    sudden he changed line and I had to pass outside where there was a wet
    spot on the track and I slipped...."
    Fabiano Sterlacchini, Pramac Racing’s Technical Director
    "“Mika’s crash was due to a wet patch he hit while overtaking a much
    slower rider, who didn’t see that he was arriving...."

    I haven't seen the video, but how did Kallio slide into Hayden if he
    was passing on the outside? Something doesn't add up here.

    You can't read too much into the "much slower rider" line. In this
    race there was a combination of riders on slicks and wets and at
    various times everyone was "much slower" and then "much faster".
    You're just trolling.

    motogp thought the Pramac Director was 'cheeky', because he obviously
    knew the road situation when the spill happened but he decided to make
    a negative comment. Whereas he could have stated that the speed
    difference was due to the race bike specification (slicks or wets) but
    he stated that it was due to the rider. etc.... Do I have to spell it
    out?
