The Talmasci and Kallio incident
Was I the only one that heard Harold Bartol say during the race that "they are under no team orders, just dont do anything risky"
Cause I was watching and listening to the whole thing online. And I'm certain I heard it. And now!?@? wtf? Quote:

My goodness me! Watching it was like Yay! Go Gabor! Wait...You fool! What have you done?!
I guess he kinda showed KTM hey: I'm better (Or I think I am) than Kallio, and if I haddn't have been cursed by Hazza in the start of the series I would be here now. That, and he doesn't want to ride for KTM next year. I'll have to think this thru and get back to you. |

my main complaint is that Bartol told the world 2 laps into the race that there was no team orders, then we find out after the race that there 'apparently' was!

I still don't know what to say, except for if you look at one of the mechanic's faces as the bikes shoot across the line it goes something like this:
Boyaahh! Wait... Gabor Talmasci!? *Insert mystified looks* The other thing is Gabor's excuse is that "He thought there was annother lap to go and he wanted to lead a lap." Which makes sense, last year the race was tied, so if Talmasci lead onto the straight Kallio could slip past him, but that doesn't explain why Gabor was going all "C'mooonnn!" on the slow down lap on us. |

I needed Gabor to win for my fantasy team so I was happy with the result. And technically he still has a shot at the championship so good on him I say. Ok it's ****ed off a KTM but the way they've been doing business lately with Team Roberts, Anthony West etc they deserve a kick up the butt.

I support asha's opening commentary. I was watching the race and I think I heard Bartol saying to the interviewer "...while they don't do anything stupid".
In TV they joked about what "stupid" meant maybe crashing together (the usual meaning) or maybe not obeying team orders (the malicious meaning). The strange thing about Talmacsi's move is he never fighted Kallioo in any corner in any lap, and we see Kallio didn't defend in the last straight. So, while I understand in theory Talmacsi's win, but I regret the way he did it. If Kallio loses the championship by less than fve point, Talmacsi position in KTM and relations with Kallio will be letal. |

Just goes to show that team orders are lame, always have been, always will be.

As someone else has said, I think you may find that Talma has already signed something else for next year so maybe thinking "Err, i dont care if Mika wins the title or not" Or in so many words!! I thought it was great to be honest!

Were there team orders, or was it just common sense that he shuldn't have passed Kallio for the win at this stage of the season? It was never going to go down well with KTM...

Well, they claimed there weren't any, then they claimed there were and Talmasci didn't oblige them, and Talmasci claimed that the pit board was wrong and they didnt' know it was the final lap...
So who knows? Edit: KTM Press Release Bare in mind how Happy Gabor was when he won... he wasn't exactly "Damn, I've b0rked it now!" Last edited by Hazza; 5 Oct 2005 at 22:55. |

Another point against Gabor is he lied: I agree that his theory about I-thought-it-was-not-the-last-lap is incredible, seeing his attitude after the finish line
Gabor, some hard days ahead. |

Well back to the origibnal question, yes I heard Bastol quite clearly say that the only team orders were not to do anything silly.
If you are going to have team orders they must be clear. According to Martin Brundle when he negotiated contracts with Mclaren in F1 it is all spelt out very clearly leaving no doubt. I think Galbor is till in with an outside chance for the title so good luck to him |

Have I got my maths right here? Luthi won by 5 points and had 4 wins. So did Kalio. Therefore, if Gabor hadnt done this (hilarious) move would Mika be champion???

I hope Luthi sends Talmacsi some nice gifts as a thank you for aiding him in winning the championship. |
