8 races to go. If Casey won every one and Jorge came second in every one, Casey would win by 8 points. What's the chance that is gonna happen.......

Of course falls and other variations are still possible, but it would be a brave man to suggest Jorge would bin it the way he's been riding.

Scary!

That should not happen. If it is true, the commission should be looking at those failures very carefully to see if the engineering evaluations/scrutineering on bikes is up to scratch. Of course, Spies binned his bike in practice, so maybe he damaged the swing arm then. If so, this might be an unintended outcome of the "one bike rule".
Either way, having a 300+kmh machine sustaining this sort of failure should be enough for tightening any post-crash component checking.

no one bike rule in motogp

Submitted by early on Mon, 2012-07-30 02:37.

I always thought that was a dumb rule anyway. Is it really that much more expensive to carry two bikes and spares than a one bike and another in a box?

One Bike Rule ??

There is no "one bike rule" in MotoGP. (It still is possible that swingarm had been involved in a crash, however.)

Ignoring Jorge's crash in the Warmup ?

Anything can happen at any time. As Crutchlow said, sometimes you just crash.
