We've had enough injuries this season, thank you very much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really doubt he meant to physically hurt david, its hard racing! injuries saddly come with this sport, its not a good thing but what can you do? accidents happen to the best of the riders.

rabbit 1 Posted July 7, 2007 (edited) We don't know the full story other than comments on the updates so don't be too quick to jump to conclusions. And Lukas, more than any other rider will be aware of the consequences of what can happen on track after his own (Slovenia anyone?) and his brothers brushes with the downside of the sport. I'm sure 'taking another rider out' if as accused was not done with the intent of injury. Edited July 7, 2007 by rabbit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was a GP Qualifier and though I would very much doubt that there was any intention to deliberately take the other riders off or injure them, Lukas was trying to gain as many points as possible to qualify! Heck, after the injuries he has sustained over the years and his brother, I think the last thing Lukas would do is ride dangerously! Still, huge well done to Bjarne for the win!

I really doubt he meant to physically hurt david, its hard racing! injuries saddly come with this sport, its not a good thing but what can you do? accidents happen to the best of the riders. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And that makes it alright?? Of course he didn't mean to hurt David, or Carpanese (if he's hurt... I think he was taken to hospital?), but you'd have thought after knocking the first rider off he would have thought twice about making a certain move and knocking a further two riders off. Yes, injuries do unfortunately come as part and parcel of this sport (it's the bit I hate most about it), so the riders should be doing everything possible to prevent them. And as for hard racing... when's the last time Lukas raced hard?! And, I'm not being funny, but have you seen the races in which he knocked riders off?

rabbit 1 Posted July 7, 2007 (edited) and for Carpanese to allegedly "attack" him. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I wonder if that was lost in translation as trying to attack him on track...as in making a move? The actual quote being "Nasty fall from Carpanese on the first bend, when he tried to attack Dryml" . I did comment on it to my t'other half when the site updated for that heat. Perhaps Tomaz might be able to expand on it? Edited July 7, 2007 by rabbit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im sure if you out David in the last heat, needing a win and he sees a gap which could be a bit risky and could take another rider out, he would go for it! Once again... we want racing, not follow the leader? Lukas has been getting better, im no way near his biggest fan but ive seen some promise off the old Lukas this season, hes been hard but fair and shut riders off.

Think you will find that was a translation thing, no doubt meaning that Carpanese was coming hard under Dryml! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quite possibly, but in any case, Drmyl was still excluded for two riders falling... that says it all really, unless the ref was wrong on two occassions!?
