| Re: Premature Celebration.... I don't know who that is, but I hope the team he rides for gets fined and he looses his ride and is made to apologize to the rest of the grid (a few of which he nearly took out in this total asshat move).
Oh, and I certainly hope he isn't scored for that finish unless it's negative points . . . |

| Re: Premature Celebration.... Had a wiggle and small incident right before and he stood up.
Bizarre one. Too bad that happened, obivously a very talented rider. His right/left turn into the chicane was brilliant. |

A few people I used to race with did stuff like that until someone (who shall remain nameless) was alongside passing one of these clowns when said clown stood up and this unidentified rider decided to show him his boot up close and personal . . . about the same results as this clip . . . |

Since I don't speak the lingo, I don't know what lap they were on, but the results are the same even if it was the first lap. There is nothing behind you in a race that requires you to look there period. (Otherwise, they would use mirrors like the cars). |

| Re: Premature Celebration.... I wonder if he thought he had sensors plugged into his datalogger to see what kind of lift his leathers generate.

| Re: Premature Celebration.... I guess he's not aware of the fact that it's a bit easier to wheelie the bike when standing on the pegs

| Re: Premature Celebration.... I just seen this on SPEEDS showing of the 24hr race at Magny course. I would be suprised if he was mocking as this happened at the end of the FIRST lap of the 24 hr race!!!!! If he was at that stage of the race, he really is an a$$hat.
