LINK Romano Fenati sacked by team after pulling rival's brake lever at high speed | Sport | The Guardian
how do you spell unsportsmanship asshole?
Romano Fenati has been sacked by his Marinelli Snipers Team following a remarkable incident whereby he pulled Stefano Manzi’s brake lever at 140mph during Sunday’s Moto2 race in San Marino.
The Italian rider was given a two-race suspension but has now had his contract ripped up.

I wasn't there, I don't know what may have transpire between these two before the race or the lap before. Who knows...however, if #13 was trying to hurt his fellow competitor, all he had to do was to give the handler bar a little push to get the bike out of course and it would have end up spinning like crazy. He just gave a little push to front break just enough to take him out of concetration. Still a bad choice and dangerous but all things considered, with all possibilities, that was a mild action and it wouldn't surprise me if both are thinking on what is the next prank to get even. That's what guys do.... Bottom line, I doubt we are getting the full story

the guy is still mental to attempt doing that at 140 mph while expecting nobody would notice or it being taped.
@Lukian that's why I would say it's just a prank. They know there are cameras everywhere and they watch video over and over to fine the tiniest opportunity to improve their skills (similar to NFL). He knew he was going to be caught, no doubt. Also, about 70% of the brake power is in the front wheel. He did use only enough squeeze to accomplish whatever he was trying to do. He knows very well how far you must press that lever to send the bike down but he didn't..... Agree, an irresponsible and stupid thing to do but seems to me he knew what he was doing
@Lukian I've just found a report on line where describes three incidents before that lead this guy to lose it. Not a prank but aggressive behavior between competitors. I wonder if video of those previous incedents would come out and help explain. Anyhow, Fenati explained he wasn't trying to hurt him but to get his attention to get even. There is more to the story... Still unfolding. For onr thing, Fenati have called it quits
That's pretty low. Is trumpism rubbing off around the world? Has the level of assholes increased since he was placed in office? Inquiring minds want to know.
