From yesterday’s MotoGP race at Brno, Mika Kallio who is substituting for Casey Stoner on the factory Ducati took out Marco Melandri on the penultimate lap.
Livio Suppo called it a normal racing incident, but the Finn exaggerated his reaction with a couple of pushes and shoves and a verbal exchange with the Italian.
Kallio would later say: “Then came the crash with Melandri, who tried to pass me where it was impossible to, so that finally our lines crossed! I didn’t see him coming at all.
”Melandri saw the incident differently and said: “I was passed him and then suddenly I got hit from behind.
I’m not sure how he can blame me when I was in front of him.
Maybe when he watches the video he will change his mind.
” Does Kallio suffer of some sort of peripheral vision problem or was he just not looking?
