BSB » Suspended ban for Brookes

Another idiot Aussie wrecking a riders championship hopes at donington Remeber Dohhan taking Scwantz out at the esses!!

He should be removed from the series!

Goose, if there was any justice you would be banned for your blatant racial discrimination.

This is not a racing incident....that makes it the most mindless and brainless thing I've ever seen, his current state of mind and worthyness to race needs to be investigated a little further. The guys a moron..I don't care where he is from..

hm plant honda should have left plater on the bike,

i believe that Josh honestly thought he had a problem with the brakes. it even states in the release that the brakes were pumped before braking for the turn. why would you do that if you thought the brakes were fine. as for entering at race speed, now confident that the "brake pump" may have settled the pads he obviously tried it with decent load i.e. race speed. I think his mind was occupied making sure his bike was ready to race. Imagine the carnage if he'd started the race with no brakes, potentially many for riders could have gone down. I think anyone else could have made the same error in the same situation. it was extremely unlucky and the penalty it too harsh.

I think people are more p*ssed that he's sidelined the most charismatic and exciting rider we've had in BSB for some years.I'm sure Josh must be gutted.We've all done things where we wish we could go back.A suspended ban is right,as other posters have said,Josh isn't exactly a liability.

His Story has changed again...brake fade... more like brain fade! If your brakes feel wrong you check behind then brake earlier to check them, maybe pump them to check for pump up.
You don't go full chat and brake at the last moment then wonder why you have just smashed someone else's leg on the sighting lap. Oh yes the less than expected retardation could be from pumping the brakes, might be wise to get brain in gear before going out to race.
Used to like and respect Brookes not now with the talk coming from him. He should even now, hold his hands up say he effed up, wont make the same mistake again and go and say sorry to SG.

always thought from watching that crash that is was his fault not the bike, he's not a class act like eveybody else and all on his own has screwed the bsb championship for us all.! because guintters was the only rider who was going to challenge camier. australian pratt.

Also i really hope this guy has a massive guilt trip,
and I HEREBY CALL FOR A GREATER PUNISHMENT THAN A RACE BAN, this wasn't just a mistake, it was supidity and has cost guintters big time. maybe hm plant should do the honourable thing and get rid! sorry about the persistance in this but it has knackered the championship.

Errrrr - Fujigas - why should Sylvain be on the racing line? - he wasnt racing - it wasnt even the warm up lap fer christsakes - no rule to prevent riders going at race pace, but if they do, then they really should concentrate at race pace too!
- Suspended ban no punishment at all really - especially as it looks like Sylvains injuries are worse than origionally thought - agree with the idea that he gets to race again when Sylvain does - its only fair - or just put Plater back on the bike - that works for me!
