Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted October 2, 2007 short version: poor season, especially poor finacially result for Masarna, Antonio blames himself, uses his car while affected by alcohol. Police tryingt o stop him. Antonio gets away but is later caught when he is trying to unlock his car. Dont have time for a more extensible translation now. Anyway very very sad to read this and i really hope AL c an find himself again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bryn 413 Posted October 2, 2007 Sad news indeed and such a waste of talent. Let's hope the kid (as that's what he still is) can sort his life out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gooner_girl4eva 0 Posted October 2, 2007 What a shame to hear that, only a few years ago Antonio had everything going for him - I hope he gets his life back on track and makes a return to the sport Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted October 2, 2007 (edited) short version: poor season, especially poor finacially result for Masarna, Antonio blames himself, uses his car while affected by alcohol. Police tryingt o stop him. Antonio gets away but is later caught when he is trying to unlock his car. Also talking about his polish season and how he's only been allowed to ride in half the matches. GP hasn't been that great either and he's bottom of the table there. In short his yet short but succesfull career hasn't developed as hoped this year and he now feels the pressure is too high and is calling it a day.[ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Edited October 2, 2007 by f-s-p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Jasper 192 Posted October 2, 2007 sounds serious, as he tried to get away from the Police, any news on what his punishment will be? To me it sounds like a case of burn out, he has lots and lots of attention in the sport and it sounds like he does not want to ride anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
