Asking KRJR about riding next Friday, whose engine failed so didn't
give the tyre the same hammering that Tamada did, the 2000 Champion
said, "I can't say I won't ride but it isn't a f**king difficult
question is it?"
Roberts has been in hospital already this year because of a tyre blow
out at pre-season testing at Sepang. It is also becoming apparent that
Tamada had a similar blow out at the Sepang tests too.
The Kawasaki team were obviously wary after the Nakano tyre blow up
and opted to tell Alex Hofmann to slow down... rather than come into
the pits...
Pictures of Nakano wrestling with his Kawasaki before he actually hit
the deck were frightening to see. Word from trackside says that he
actually had the tyre blow way before the line, only to fall off at
the end of the pit wall some 200 metres later. The seat had already
been shattered at that point.
