Holy crap!!! Why on Earth would he do that?

Currently contract cancelled. Next year's contact cancelled.

Bye felicia.

We've all had either close calls or accidental contact while racing. I've had my fair share. At no point did I ever think about touching another racer's bike. Bumps happen, asshole passes happen, smacking bar ends happens, but this is beyond anything I've ever seen. Dude is supposed to be a professional, at the near pinnacle of the racing world and this is how he acts. I'm glad MV dropped him. Hopefully he'll never race as a professional again.

Saw this today and could not believe it....

I was there! Not even the Italians are defending him. Good ol' Cal Crutchlow was the only one to call it like it was right off the bat while everyone danced around wondering what the correct response would be.

Awesome race weekend to attend though. My first MotoGP! I certainly got what I paid for!

Take this with a big ass grain of salt as the Italian media is over the top. Dude just lost his license to race in Italy, then he announced his retirement, and now there might be charges against him. Not too sure about that last part.

Am I the only one who wasnt really surprised by this? I mean, come on... dude had that crazy clash with Nicky Ajo a few years back, then gets fired from the VR46 Academy team because of "behavioral issues". Fenati is just a ticking time bomb and luckily, people are FINALLY starting to realize it now after this. Im just glad that nobody got hurt.
