Fabrizio fucked up. Hey, it happens. He tried his best to show Spies how stupid he felt, and showed some true sportsmanship in the process. Spies shunned him, and I completely understand his reaction. I can imagine what was going through his head as he stomped over to the Ducati paddock after the crash..."Oh, so Haga is hurt, I'm looking to take the championship lead, so you send your #2 guy to take me out!"
Obviously ridiculous, but in the heat of the moment, I can imagine it. I wonder how that conversation went?!?
I believe Fabrizio is thrilled to find himself in the thick of the championship hunt. Unfortunately, he made a bone-head mistake. It cost Spies dearly, but it also cost himself.
I can't help but to like the guy. After seeing his poor, inconsistent performance in the past couple of years, to seeing him standing on the pit wall cheering on Bayliss as he crossed the finish line to claim his championship, to now seeing him become a no-shit contender...well, he is fun to watch.
I agree, though, that Haga is a monkey fightin' ironman!
