<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (steeeeeve @ Apr 10 2010, 12:35 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>someone please post a pic of west's bike (with that nasty swing arm his was using today). it looks like he might have built it in his garage.
Go ANT!
Other than the swingarm I dont reckon it looks that bad though.
"The Thai Honda PTT SAG team of Ratthapark Wilairot and Hector Faubel has swapped from a planned Suter chassis to become the only team running a Bimota design in this year's inaugural Moto2 World Championship.
“We had a preliminary agreement with Suter but there were some terms in the final contract with which we did not agree and in the end we have decided to go with Bimota,” the official MotoGP website quotes team director Eduardo Perales as saying.
“We are pleased because it represents a more direct, more human contact, and if there are problems it will be much easier to resolve them".
I hope so cause your bike's gonna need some problem-solving to equal the chassis you gave up over contractual issues...

Harsh and wrong. DeAngelis was certainly a bit wild in those first few corners but he didn't run into anyway, he just sent himself wide. Bradl ran into the back of Alex, if anything its his fault but ultimately in those circumstances its clearly a racing a incident and a damn shame. Hopefully neither are badly hurt... Bradl is a Motegi specialist
I was hoping to catch this on the red button last night, but it wasn't on. Now I've read the above posts i must have missed quite a bit, I hope it's on tonight. I can't wait to see these bikes race, they looked good in qualifying.

I saw what Frost saw and apparently you are the one who was wrong (but not harsh) Tom.
"Toni Elias and Alex De Angelis got the holeshot, but as they pack flicked back left for Turn 2, De Angelis clipped the rear of Elias' Gresini Moriwaki, and tumbled out, taking Viessmann Kiefer's Stefan Bradl with him."

Well i stand corrected if ALex did in fact hit Toni, but i maintain that Frosty's comment was both harsh and wrong.

Well its a matter of opinion so thats fine. I don't think making a mistake and being rear ended can be consdidered 'taking someone out'.
Tom, I really don't think it's a matter of opinion whether De Man was outta control and touched Toni's back tyre initiating the downs. He did. I looked for a clip but have yet to find. If anyone has please post.

Sorry but my objection was to the comment that DeAngelis 'took out' a 'blameless' Bradl. The parts in inverted commas are opinions i disagree with. I did rather boldly tell Frosty he was 'wrong', but clearly this is a matter of opinion as we have quite different stances having watched the same thing unfold. I was under the impression Alex actually avoided contact with Toni, but apparently this is not the case, it's not really relevant as we are discussing the result of whatever interaction DeAngelis had with Elias at turn 2 anyway.
