| I watched this about 10 times last night on the video, you could see that Hopkins came from a fairly wide line across the front into Loris' line and then Loris locked the rear up and it came around and then he ran into Hopper. The rest was really the ensuing carnage!
It was really a racing incident I think, Loris might not have been expecting Hopper to take that line because he was fairly wide already - you'd think he'd give a bit more room in turn 1 of the race seeing as he was coming from a wide position but then Loris should have bene able to adjust so as not to hit him. IMO both riders are responsible.
If you think back to Biaggi running into Loris in the last race I think that was more Biaggi's fault (because he's a tw*t!) because Biaggi had a lot more time to see Loris coming back onto the line and that was always going to happen after Loris was pushed wide in the first place. Biaggi was complaining about people thinking they can win the race in the first lap (he said the same thing yesterday!) but it was realy his fault - IMO. Not that he'd really accept any blame for an accident anyway ....  |
