Krusty was. Pretty much what I thought. I think it was the Bathurst 1000 a few years ago when a similar thing happened, & the guy leapt out & pushed the car a fair old distance to get over the line, to rapturous applause from the crowd. If Spies had jumped off & pushed like ****, he possibly would've got a few more points, but more importantly, he would've won a great deal of respect. -- Krusty '03 Tiger 955i '02 MV Senna (for sale) '96 Tiger (for sale) '79 Fantic Hiro 250 (for sale) '81 Corvette (for sale)
You've just reminded me of something I was thinking about at the weekend - why are Kawasaki so shit at racing? That is a serious question btw, not a troll. And I don't mean just MotoGP - it seems to be the same story in all classes & capacities. -- Krusty '03 Tiger 955i '02 MV Senna (for sale) '96 Tiger (for sale) '79 Fantic Hiro 250 (for sale) '81 Corvette (for sale)

I'm fairly sure there's a "while not headbutting telegraph poles" clause to be added, at the very least. -- Wicked Uncle Nigel - "He's hopeless, but he's honest" I have already made the greatest contribution to the fight against climate change that I can make: I have decided not to breed.

I can believe that & the budget point might affect their performance in the top class, full works categories (MotoGP & WSB), but it doesn't really explain their failure to be competitive in national championships with privateer teams. -- Krusty '03 Tiger 955i '02 MV Senna (for sale) '96 Tiger (for sale) '79 Fantic Hiro 250 (for sale) '81 Corvette (for sale)
