[font=times new roman,times,serif]And what Schwantz said:[/font]
[font=times new roman,times,serif]I think the pass at the top of the hill, flat out, sixth gear, both just about have their knee at the ground going left, I think that pass took the balloon that is Jorge Lorenzo and let the air out of it, it’s not completely empty, but it definitely let the air out of it. I think that was a statement; that this is my championship and I am gonna make a pass on you right now that nobody would ever expect me to make. I was watching the race from the kink and when I saw what was coming tried to get the attention of anyone within shouting distance. [/font]
[font=times new roman,times,serif]I went, my god, you guys, as best I could: ‘WATCH THIS!’ I just could not believe that that’s what he was going to attempt to do.”[/font]
[font=times new roman,times,serif]Not only did he attempt it, he did it, and cleanly, though Lorenzo didn’t think so. Lorenzo said he “felt like Casey came across the front of his bike really quick. I don’t think that was Casey’s intention at all. I think Casey made a pass that really startled Jorge and I think it’s something that Jorge’s going to think about until they race again.”[/font]
[font=times new roman,times,serif]But then again JLo

Schwantz says a lot of things that make me question his intelligence. I used to talk to him when he was a young rider starting out on a superbike, back when he was on a Yosh bike in AFM races, and I questioned it then too. Incredible rider but otnay ootay ightbray, if you follow me.

I live on the east coast of the US now (hopefully to change in a few months) but lived on the Monterey Peninsula (of Ca.) until '89. I used to be my brother's pit crew in his brief racing career, mostly in '85, and Schwantz was riding the Yosh superbike at Willow at most of the AFM races there. Lots of other guys ran those races, Sadowski on his RS250, etc.
Ah, the good old days...
