Insane. Biaggi took Haga out of the WSBK race this weekend... Haga responds by throwing gravel at him in the sand pit?!

The best bit is, Haga is having a go at Biaggi for 'unprofessional conduct"!

It's like something out of the playground!

Frankly, I'm not surprised he threw gravel at him, if it had been me, it would have been more than gravel.

Did you see the actual incident? Biagi went up the inside in a move thank was never going to happen and took them both out, at nearly 150mph, across the tarmac and then the gravel. Had to hurt. And it was in the middle of a challenge for the lead of the WSB race.

Stupid challenge by Biagi, hardly surprising Haga was upset.

Frankly if Haga had laid Max out it would have been fair enough. That was a totally stupid piece of ridng.

Biaggi got his ambitions mixed up with his capabilities again.

Just following Haga's lines for a few laps doesnt give him the abaility to actually ride them.

One of the Troys would have dropped him.

Even if Biaggi had slipped under Haga before Haga turned in, he would have gone through that corner well wide of the Apex (if not, shot straight on) and Haga would have gone straight back past on the racing line.

He's a clown.

Or even WSB... hehe I think he'd have made a bigger arse of himself at Mondello Park.

Racefan - yes a real pity about Guy Sanders but you are taking this out of context.

Biaggi I alway felt was fast as but could never slide the rear - all on the front for him, would be good on and 800 with all the electronics and less power and more importantly torque.

http://www.crash.net/news_view~cid~5~id~149872.htm - is there actually a video of this as the link suggests?

It was a brilliant move by Haga, I remember a few years ago in the BTCC Yvan Muller punched a driver that took him out of a race and now he is in the WTCC.

I saw the coverage and the repeat but never saw Haga throw any gravel at Biaggi. He kicked some in his direction once but I didn't see any gravel hit Biaggi.

The rumour I'm more interested in is that Valentino Rossi was at the race watching it. If he was I'm sure he had a smile on his face when he saw the move.
