can i tell you the craziest thing i've seen in the nine years i've been
watching right and moto gp
was they i don't know what track they were at but it was this long straightaway
where they get up to
like 210 213 miles an hour and then there was a hard right turn okay and there
was this whole like
open field on the side so i guess they never anticipated people on the straightaway
colliding
somehow these two guys as the leaders were just about ready to go into that
right turn two people
collided they fell off their motorcycles and these motorcycles started cartwheeling
down the grass
towards i know i i i was i was out there and i had to call that incident i'm
the one that pin lost
franco morbidelli yeah that was that was maverick grinales and valentino rossi
who was coming through
the corner and this bike like with the engine hanging off yeah coming around it
went right in
between them right oh the chances the chances bill of the two bikes going
through in between maverick
finales and and and valentino and not hitting them is it was one in a million
divine intervention
is the only way i can say it i we were watching it and i couldn't believe what
we were watching and it
was johan zarco and franco morbidelli who got together and so i had to give us
starting from pin lane to
johan zarco for the incident because he basically what it it was bait it was
pretty much a racing incident
but because of the speed and the kink of the corner there not considering the
fact the being the right
hander right at the end it's why we changed the track design after this
incident for the next year
for the spielberg gibson spielberg austria in august is where you saw that
thank god nobody had to die
because i i even i knew i was going like there's no what they're looking at all
the tracks now to see
if that could possibly that's the closest i saw thank god nothing happened but
i always wondered like
for like uh valentino rossi who else was the other guy that had just missed maverick
finales like what
it was like you know your heart maverick maverick was in front and so he didn't
get to see the bikes
come through in between them yeah it was valentino who yeah he was like all the
bike his life you know
saw the bike like cross right in front of his bike oh my god yeah it's not
something like the balls to be
like okay start racing again and be like yeah yeah but i can't i can't that was
a tough incident because
you got the thing is it's such an emotional everybody at that level they're so
driven and
you know the team you know as as the steward and i was chairman of the stewards
and so basically i would
deal with each one of those incidents like that situation where i brought johan
zarko and franco
morbidillion and i and i and they were both you know one of them had one
opinion and they're always
different opinions um it's just like out in the street it's a little fender bender
he came out of
nowhere yeah exactly and you know so he's going what was i supposed to do and
of course there was no
issue with with valentino or or maverick but so it was just between those two
and and who caused the
crash and and basically how it could be avoided and there's so much you know
where you're looking at
it where it's it's just it's perception of the the incident where you're
looking at it objectively and you
obviously it's it's not about personalities and you know that's why being a steward
or even a referee
you see referee you know in games it's it's extremely difficult because what
you can see
you make half the people happy most time no one's you know happy with
Thank you.
