Michael Rogers crash commentary...

Fake name goes here · 2004-07-03T17:28:51+00:00

What the hell...I'm sitting here and as soon as I saw it I said "he hit a pedal" Phil and Paul are going on and on about his "stiff" wheel and how it lost traction. The french tv feed also had a circle right around the pedal on a replay and phil still says "how he went down is a mystery". Come on guys...

What the hell...I'm sitting here and as soon as I saw it I said "he hit
a pedal" Phil and Paul are going on and on about his "stiff" wheel and
how it lost traction. The french tv feed also had a circle right around
the pedal on a replay and phil still says "how he went down is a
mystery".
Come on guys...

I think you've confused Rogers with White.

It was so blatantly obvious what happened, and for an ex-racer like Paul
Sherwin to not get it is just ridiculous ........

Maybe the signal is poor in their OLN mobile trailer?

Maybe they have glare on their monitors from being outside.

it's so confusing when two Aussies crash in the same race.... 🙂 White
hit a cable in warm up and Rogers dragged a pedal in the hairpin.

Looking at the slow motion, Rogers' rear wheel DID actually step out
fractionally before the pedal hit the ground. Couldn't tell if it was
because he shifted the balance too early by putting the pdeal down or
whether putting the power on too early caused the slip...

He put the pedal down which stepped the wheel out. It caught and I thought
everything was OK when it slipped completely off. Remember that it was a bit
wet on that corner and I think that the very slight additional stress was
just too much. Hard luck for Michael and better luck next time. It was a
perfectly understandable mistake in a race where 100ths of seconds count.
