I hate to bring this thread back on topic but:
'HRC would like to apologise to Casey Stoner and thank him for the effort he made in attending the Suzuka 8 Hour event'

Having completed its investigation into Casey Stoner's dramatic accident while leading Sunday's Suzuka 8 Hours, Honda has confirmed a 'throttle malfunction' and apologised to the retired double MotoGP champion.

"Honda Racing Corporation has carried out a detailed analysis following the crash of Casey Stoner in last weekend's Suzuka 8 Hour race," said a HRC statement.

"Checking the throttle, which is a particular specification for Endurance HRC Factory bikes, and different from the standard throttle used on the Honda CBR1000RR road version, a malfunction was discovered related to the throttle cable.

"This kind of problem hasn't arisen before, however, HRC will cease using this throttle specification and will design a new one to be used for Endurance races.

"HRC would like to apologise to Casey Stoner and thank him for the effort he made in attending the Suzuka 8 Hour event."

Stoner, taking part in his first motorcycle race since leaving MotoGP at the end of 2012, was handed the #634 Musashi machine by team-mate Takumi Takahashi near the one hour mark.

The Australian soon moved into the lead, but disaster struck shortly after at the fast right-hander leading to the hairpin. A front-wheel wobble was the first sign that the throttle had remained open and, after grabbing the clutch, Stoner ran onto the grass and fell at high speed.

The 29-year-old, who suffered shoulder and ankle fractures, soon revealed that the throttle had stuck, with Honda's initial checks suggesting it was open by 26 degrees.

WSBK star Michael van der Mark was the third member of the factory Musashi team, which was seeking its third straight Suzuka victory.

The Yamaha line-up of Bradley Smith, Pol Espargaro and Katusyuki Nakasuga went on to win the race.

Will there be ritual seppuku, with the offending engineer disembowling himself in Honda's Collection Hall at Motegi, while Stoner looks on with approval?

Just read that as well Jums - this one is in english - http://www.autoevolution.com/news/n...g-a-crash-at-mugello-in-2013-video-98353.html

Occurred in 2013 so the question for me is, why is he allowed to ride?

He should get a nice loooooooong holiday from the sport for those actions which are far worse that the majority of actions we have seen over the years where there have been calls for the offending rider to be forced to sit in a roomful of fire ants whilst covered in honey listening to the spice girls

Is he the one from earlier this year that ran the guy off the road?

If so, at the time I called for a long holiday as well, as to me there are no excuses for deliberate actions such as causing another to crash (as opposed to negligence or simple 'f*ck up that cause another to crash)

he kicked Ajo then mucked about with the kill switch when doing starts after practice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7fep8y0X2w

Ah that one.

Th kill switch at the end of practice is a 50/50 as it is relatively harmless in safety terms (yet it does impede the 2nd rider from practising the starts etc which are an issue in themselves)

As for the kick, yep penalties should have applied.

Either way and for me, what the video of the alleged Canepa shows is far worse (and sorry, seem to recall a rider deliberately barging another this year somewhere so though Fernati may have been that incident)

The old kill switch trick. Club racers used to pull that .... in the middle of races all the time and they always got away with it 'cause there were no cameras for proof. You'd always hear about so and so going over to some guy's pit late in the evening while they were sitting around having a burger and punching them in the face when no one was watching.
 
I disliked Aaron Yates more than I did Mat Mladin. And thats saying something. He was a total ....... without the redeeming talent.
