Lorenzo is not fit to race and he is placing not just himself but others at risk because when he ran across the gravel and came bounding back on to the track he had no way of knowing if another rider was coming and he was not in control of the bike. You need your legs and your feet hard on pegs. But this is not a decision he should be making. I remember racing with a badly broken collarbone and when the bike crossed up I just fell off of it. I also encouraged my son to race a half mile Texas Dirt Track when he had a badly injured shoulder. Dean Miller told it to me straight...if he crashes he could seriously hurt himself. But he needed points. The medical staff is being irresponsible.

Control electronics?
4 agree.
1 disagrees.
I see quite a few races each year and I have been on the scene since the mid70s, so I have seen many changes, from treaded to slicks, from four strokes to two strokes and back again, but the arrival of electronics has been, in my opinion, a change for the worse. The arguement that traction control improves safety and would have prevented accidents is the strongest defense of taking the throttle out of the riders' control and letting electronics make decisions, but Wayne Rainey says this, "The 500s were probably too dangerous, even with the big bang motors. The bikes hurt a lot of us, but when they went to 1000cc four stroke the bikes were safe. Now the bikes look too easy to ride."
