"Contact is not part of motorcycle sport"

"The race management and all of us, we must try to avoid contact […]. The pilots take enough risks, sometimes in difficult conditions like this Sunday (on the drying track in Argentina, Editor’s note) , to prevent contacts from being part of motorcycle sport. Contact is not part of this sport, as I understand it anyway ", insists Gib ‘.

"There must be a regulation which must be understandable and clear. If we are strict, the pilots will think twice before trying something", estimates the former Spanish pilot while calling for more sanction in the event of percussion, like the one in the first lap of the Argentine GP which ruined his colt’s race, in addition to fracturing his wrist.

Sete Gibernau is all the more concerned by this kind of muscular action as it was done on his Honda-Movistar by a certain … Valentino Rossi! The n ° 15 retained a deep bitterness following this episode which had provoked a great anger of many Spanish fans, stunned at the time by the absence of sanction attributed to the Doctor. 13 years later, his "executioner" is on the mat and demands more severity in the name of security: who said "ironic" ?!
