Gunner75 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Motorbike rider fakes injury to cause red flagA motorbike rider bizarrely faked injury in an attempt to stop a race after he crashed and could not get his bike restarted.Marlinton dos Reis Teixeira, known by his nickname 'Kalunga', slid on a corner in rainy conditions during the Rio Grande do Sul State Moto Grand Prix in Brazil, causing his bike to stall.Kalunga failed to get his bike to start and was losing valuable time. He then walked to the middle of the track and threw himself on the ground pretending to be badly injured in an attempt to get the race red-flagged.Several riders passed their stricken competitor before some eventually stopped to give assistance.Kalunga was placed on a stretcher and put in the back of an ambulance.The MotoRacing Association of Rio Grande do Sul State later found out about Kalunga's apparent fake injury and banned the rider from the championship.http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e43_1348280333 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRMN8TR Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 (edited) My question is where are the corner workers? He was laying there forever before it was stopped. That would never have happened at one of our races. Edited September 29, 2012 by TRMN8TR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 WOW what a D-bag move!!. And the guys that stopped must have been like "this guy is hurt bad". They get off the bikes,check on the "fallen" rider. I bet those guys are less then happy. There was a corner worker way up up in the left hand corner of the screen, but was maybe a bit slow on throwing any flag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner75 Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 I laughed so hard at watching his failed attempt at being injured. If i remember correctly they banned him from the entire championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Hope they banned him from the series for life. Some BS right there. 4 or 5 other riders laid their bikes on the ground and ran to his aid for nothing. And I'd have thought the flagger at the previous corner would have seen the fake act, but they may have missed that part so the track folk treated it as a typical crash scenario. Oh well, he got caught and didn't get away with shit - at least he's famous now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
