同門決裂! Fiat Yamaha同門車手私人惡鬥各不相讓 趣味花邊 04 Oct 2010

對抗性賽事當然人人愛看,埋身肉搏彎中互插當然會令車迷看到如痴如醉。但如果大家份屬隊友,而另一位隊友只差少許便可以穩奪2010年度MotoGP世界冠軍寶座時,原來並不一定會得到隊友的支持。隊友既然已經叫糊,不支持都算了,竟然還互不相讓。程度甚至去到車手在彎中發生碰撞!如此高危動作可以說去到你死我亡的階段,實在令人感到意外。

說的是2010 MotoGP日本站賽事尾聲,頭兩名車手早已遙遙領先,剩下Fiat Yamaha兩位車手羅絲和羅倫素互爭季軍。

由於積分榜上居第二位的柏度沙因傷沒有出場,令領先的羅倫素形勢大好,只要再奪佳績便可穩奪世界冠軍寶座。

豈料傷癒復出的羅絲毫不相讓,只顧個人榮辱,和隊友羅倫素的對抗過程充滿危險,有不顧大局之嫌。

在車隊賽後報告,羅倫素便不留情面地指責羅絲忘記了他們都應為車隊利益出發:I have to say that at some points I do not think he was completely fair, we were both on the limit but some of his moves were maybe a bit too much and he touched me and pushed me wide when I don't think it was right.

We are team-mates, I am fighting for the Riders' Championship but we are both fighting for the Teams' and Manufacturers' Championship as well and we have to remember this.

今次事件連車隊經理Zeelenberg都有不滿:It was a great battle between the two strongest riders in the world but they are team-mates and Valentino took too many risks and touched Jorge a couple of times, which should not have happened when Jorge is fighting for the championship.

大家都知道羅絲明年會轉會DUCATI,和YAMAHA結束多年合作關係。今次事件,是否意味著羅絲已經不再需要顧及YAMAHA車隊的整體利益呢?


上圖為兩人在彎中發生碰撞的情形。下一站馬來西亞賽事,如果柏度沙仍然無法出場的話,羅倫素只要以第十名衝線,便夠分數奪取全年度總冠軍寶座。
