A public apology

Theyre just mad because he ...... them before they ...... him. He did what he had to do to accomplish his goal. Loyalty in the racing world is not a strenght as soon as your not posting times they kick you out on your ... and in Moto gp's case once the political ........ starts they kick you out on your ....

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Teomolca @ Jun 25 2009, 04:04 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>The other way round, there were huge consequences for Kallio he lost the championship. While Hayden still managed to win his. Kallio's career has been affected by those 5 points.

I think Talmacsi is quite a talented rider, but he is a backstabber.

That's a rather harsh characterization of Talmacsi. And I'm a bit confused by your forced comparison of Kalio and Hayden. In one case the "offending" rider drafted past in an opportunity to win at the line, in the other case the 'offending' rider torpedoed the other causing injury and out of the points lead in the penultimate round of the championship season. Other than that both cases involved a 5 point difference (hardly a reason to compare) how exactly do these incidents compare in magnitude, regardless of the outcome in the title?

And since you have characterized Talmacsi as a "backstabber" then I would be curious as to your 'honest' assessment of Pedrosa's transgression??? Any harsh word for him?

Well actually at the Aspar flew to Budapest and talked to Talma and seems to have still a good relationship, they public speech was along the lines of being happy of having worked together and best wishes for the future. Aspar only actually said bad things (and still does) about Talma's manager.
I guess at the end nothing was lost, Aspar got a replacement rider so the team is still going on, and the Hungarian sponsors are happy to have another Hungarian rider. Meanwhile Talma gets his chance in MotoGP which is every rider's dream.
