Just read this so all you people saying it's Yates fault can learn something. It was not his fault. God pull your head out of your ass why don't you.:finger :finger

What he did after word was wrong but he did not cause the crash.

You're joking, right? :dunno Proof? :confused:

I'll be glad to make you yet another appointment with your proctologist to see if he can find your head.:D

So I guess you are a better expert than Keith Patti who was there at the races. I am sure he has more knowledge than all of here. Well the video is proof enough.

I like how it says it was Fania fourth time being lapped. Why was he even in the race? Seems like he was more a hazard than a competitor.

I think you guys that think it's Yates fault need to find your head:finger :finger :finger
yates was too hot going around fania, he should have and could have taken the inside but he made a mistake

at best, it was nobody's fault; hence called an accident...


i would be pissed as hell if i were yates, i don't know if i would drop kick someone (not my style) but none the less, it is hard to say since fania was being lapped for the fourth time, he should have just pulled over and pushed his bike to the finish line,


and as for keith patti, he is due for a good drop kick any way
Dude, let it go, I'm sure you have a "thing" for Yates, but don't get all postal.
Could care less about Yates just trying to prove a point. People just shate on the guy for causing the accident when it wasn’t even his fault.

What took place afterwards makes him a total dick head and was totally uncalled for. But come on put some blame on the guy that caused this whole problem. You guys make it sound like he did nothing wrong. He caused the whole crash.

I mean if you are getting lapped four times do you really think it is safe for him to be out there let alone the safety of others. Even Miguel Duhamel who is one of the coolest guys out there said he was scared to go out because of the back markers.

Oh and I guess this isn’t total proof so I take that back. But I am sure Keith Patti knows what he is talking about. He probably saw the accident from every camera angled they had there.

I don't think a proctologist can help. It's pretty far up there. Hey is that a peanut.:finger :finger
Keith Patti sounds as dumb as you....

you do realize that you just linked us to an Editorial, right? That is His opinion. yet again as I stated the last time you made a comment, call your proctologist, you have a bigger problem than was originally suspected. he found your head, it just seems to be permanently planted up your a$$.:fact :finger
I know I called you an idiot earlier but that was when I thought you were half joking.

If you leave everything else out of the scenario, Yates is a ‘pro’; as such, he should have done better than to pull a rookie maneuver -outside.

There is a good reason the overtaking rider has the responsibility to make a clean pass.

Relax a little.

:bs Correct me if I'm wrong, but most passes on a lapped-rider are made on the inside of the turn... From what I've seen of AMA and BSB races... :dunno Just my .02

No one is upset at Yates for causing the crash, it's his post crash antics that got him fined.

And if you look at the beginning of the tape you will see Fania sitting right on the white line so the inside line cannot be taken to get around him...he looks like he is protectingt he inside...then stands straight up in the middle of the turn and drifts outward until he collides with Yates trying to go by. I am sure if he would have entered the turn on the outside line that Yates would have passed him on the inside...without a doubt.

:2bitchsla Exactely my point... Rules state "back-markers hold their line through a turn to allow front-runners a clean path through...". Anyone else concur? And like Droog said, Yates isnt an idiot for crashing (very well could be both their fault), just the way he acted was stupid... :yesnod
AGREED

Abuser: I think you gotta go back and read more carefully- I can't speak for anyone else's posts, but I can certainly speak for my own: specifically on the point that while yates might not have CAUSED the crash, he is at fault because he had to make it an asshole contest... he's got enough experience and enough time being a pro to KNOW the lap-traffic is a part of the game.. so what- fania was lapped 4 times- big fuucking deal- that's even MORE reason why aaron should have been more adult about passing- he knows the game.. Alot of people seemed to be saying THAT- not that he caused it, but he's certainly at fault!

I'll make you a deal- since you're obviously such head over heels over him: If you wanna continue to argue this: I'll pull my head out of my ass, if you pull yate's dick out of your mouth....


Good point below: :facts

My point was that if I am Yates, I am having a good run and want to keep it that way, if I decide this backmarker is really going to cost me, I CHOOSE to go outside, I live with the results of that decision. Sometimes you get the bear and others the bear gets you. Bad choice, live with the consequences. :(

I give the guy no slack. In large part this is due to his actions on the day and his weak ass weasel apology.

A lot of things happen in a race, how you cope with them is what makes you a winner or a loser. – Well that, and how fast you go. :)

I think most everyone "tries" to hold thier line . Accidents happen because you don't . What about the couple of Factory riders that "try" but end up blowing the Chicane entrance ? I saw a couple over that weekend . They push beyond thier limits and cause crashes also . It's racing . Just because he was lapped 4 times doesn't mean he shouldn't be out there . There's always gonna be someone slower and there's always going to be hazards . In the end it's the guy passing that has the responsibility to make the decision on whether it is safe to do so or not . The lead bike doesn't have eyes in the rear of his helmet
