I have no idea how this has got so many views but thank you! Hopefully it has brought some more people to one of the greatest forms of motorsport, if you are looking for another video like this check out the last lap of the British Superbike championship in 2011 where a photo finish decides the winner of the championship: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J94PF43oEps.html NOTE: I do not and will not make any sort of monetary gain off of these videos, they are purely to showcase some awesome moments from the championship!
@@sanakpal8036 i agree, a highly HIGHLY , unproffesional move in an already dangerous sport. He should definatley be penalized. He even looks like a fucking bully.
@@sanakpal8036 Explain why he squeezed Kennedy onto the kerbs during turn 1 AFTER crossing the finish line then? Squeeze a bit more and it would've been an accident. Although responded poorly, Kennedy was right to be mad.
@@maczanin1658 dude two words "rubbins racin" Kicking is seriously usporting, at least while ON the dang bike, pit then kick some ass, still unsportsman behavior though.
I am one of many F1 fans coming back to bikes after these last few seasons. More excitement in that last two laps than in the whole of the 2019 F1 season.
I agree it's not a 0.026 second lead. How fast do you think they were going at the finish line? They looked neck-and-neck. Let's say there was a 1-foot lead (looked less than that). Doing the math you'd travel 1 foot in 0.026 seconds at about 26 MPH. Not! At 100 MPH there would have to be a 3.8 feet difference in the lead or about 1/2 a bike length. But at 192 MPH and a time difference of 0.0026 seconds, they would be about 6 inches apart and that looked about right.
@@ur0mum69 yes he did, but Kennedy ran Seeley out wide nearly onto the grass, the announcer mentioned it as well. At their level, Seeley could've actually ran him onto the curb if he wanted to.
@@shanemcredmond9751 Thanks for the info. That seems about right. Kennedy nearly ran Seeley into the grass and Seeley cut the Apex on Kennedy in return.
That was one hell of a way to finish a race. It could have ended in tears for both riders. That is one really good quality race on a quality race track.
when they both crossed the line and both go towards paddock hill bend , seeley knows kennedy is still there and even though they have finished racing , seeley squeezes jack right into the bend and forces him off line onto the painted strip and he has to brake. Kennedys gripe was why did seeely have to do that when they had finished racing and let seeley know about it. If it was a proper kick seeley would have been off the bike, it was just a tap. Both great racers and a must watch.
@Ian Stevenson He did cut him off no doubt about it but still no need to kick out. By the sounds of it they are both as bad as each other ! Still one hell of a cracking lap though on edge racing just what fans want to see.
I don't think Kennedy kicked him cos he lost. It looks to me like Seeley squeezed Kennedy towards the edge of the track on the first corner after the race finished
Is it worth it. "Oh yes" all the riders , family's , fans and friends appreciate and understand the risks . But if the worst happens we understand and feel the loss a of a true professional and hero. And I would like to add we will remember and honour them . God bless them all .
F1 can learn from this - you don't need different tyres or lots of pits stops, ditch all the wings, skirts & aero bits and have basic powerful machines that the driver/rider has to handle
Kennedy shouldn't have kicked out but Seeley cuts across him and tries to wipe out his front wheel!!! They don't show that in this footage. Even worse than Kennedy's kickout to be honest.
Seeley did not hold his line in the previous corners, obviously blocking by not taking the racing line, while Kennedy did not leave a line to which a rider is entitled to. That is, if a rider is next to you then they are entitled to that space, and you should give them room. I know racing would be far safer,. especially with passes, if: 1. Riders are penalized if they purposefully go outside the line they usually take. 2. Riders are entitled to a line once they get alongside you, and you must allow them that line.
@@langhamp8912 I appreciate the racing was hard but I should have clarified Seeley done that after the race, when you see him veer his bike towards Kennedys they actually jump cut but he had to slow and swerve because he tried to wipe out his front wheel. I really enjoyed the race and they pushed each other very very hard but the afters was adrenaline running high and out of control.
Seeley was weaving a bit much on those last laps, then he squeezed Kennedy on the outside, making Kennedy have to swerve left against the grass. This ultimately gave Seeley the win, as Kennedy scrubbed his speed just enough to hurt his winning draft. If I were Kennedy, I wouldn't have cut his front after the finish as the track is no place for fighting, but I would have probably punched him in the winners circle.
@c: Methods precisely, that's what killed F1 and it's about to do the same in Moto GP. No dangerous riding, just a feud to increase tension, like in the good old days, I love that.
@@PEZ1514 You're talling about the wrong guy. The winner got kicked by the second place guy TWICE in that corner after the finish line. He then pushed him again TWICE. The winner only kicked him once.
It was the turn after the finish line, when the winner squeezed 2nd place through that turn for no reason. Adrenaline mixed with emotions for both riders led to the situation there.
In British supersport a lot of riders have to bring there own sponsors to get the ride. Very few will actually get paid. It’s a bit of an over reaction to be talking about bans. It’s just passion. Not really much to write home about. Just a bit of post race handbags.
As someone who could careless about either rider. I think it was after the race going into the corner. He almost puts him in the grass. But hey I don’t care about either of them. So you pick your favorite.
Kennedy kicks at Seely because after the line Seely pinches Kennedy down to the curb in the next turn. Seely may not have realized Kennedy was still keeping up with him though. But whatever the case the adrenaline was obviously still pumping for both. No harm. No foul really. I wish the states show every one of these races. Including the TT Isle of Man 2 weeks of practice and races each May. Truly the greatest test of man’s ability to conquer the edge of life and death. But we’re stuck with NASCAR and INDY races. Hats off to all of these gentlemen.
After he defended his line to the limit pushing Seeley wide at the finish line,nothing wrong just hard racing,but then with the race over why didn't he just back off a bit?Even if he was pissed off,there is no excuse for the kick.
@@Philois I mean I am not defending anything, I just think after a close finish where they almost touched before the line you don't also have to take his nose off after the race is over.
@@LitleBear Absolutely right. That wasn't a reaction to anything that happened in the race itself, it was because Seeley made a dick move squeezing Kennedy onto the kerb at Paddock on a wet track. Could have easily been curtains for them both. As for the rest of you what does Shakey know..he's only been BSB champ what...three hundred times is it now?
