Gobert Vs. Hacking At Laguna Seca

Copyright Roadracing World Publishing, Inc.

On the cool-off lap for the 600cc Supersport race at Laguna Seca, Anthony Gobert and Jamie Hacking made contact repeatedly, and it wasn’t any accident. Both riders agree that contact was made; in fact, both riders readily admitted they intentionally hit the other rider.

According to both riders, Hacking was going into turn five, waving to the crowd. Gobert came up on the inside of Hacking and clipped his clutch lever, putting Hacking into a wobble. Hacking pulled up on the left side of Gobert and backhanded him in the helmet. Then Gobert pulled up alongside Hacking and started kicking at his bike.

The reason? According to Gobert, Hacking cut across the front of his Yamaha in turn two at the start of the race. Gobert was entirely unapologetic about his actions, saying instead that when he was kicking at Hacking, “I would have liked a little better impact, too. It’s frustrating, being so injured because he needs a good smack in the mouth. It’s one thing if it’s racing, but he does it on purpose. He thinks it’s funny.”

It seems that Gobert’s complaints against Hacking have been accumulating over a period of time. While discussing this incident, Gobert mentioned that Hacking ran into him at Road Atlanta.

When told the nature of Gobert’s complaint, Hacking said, “That’s it? If I’d hit him, it would be something different, I didn’t do it on purpose. If he can’t handle it, he shouldn’t be here. The problem is he can’t get up the balls to come talk to me face to face. He needs to straighten his act out. It’s racing. I’m fighting my way to the front. I’m sure it was close, but nobody even touched.”

Ben Bostrom Does The Double, Wins Second World Superbike Race At Laguna Seca

0

By Glenn Le Santo

Ben Bostrom won both races at Laguna Seca to make it three straight wins in the Superbike World Championship. In perfect display of racecraft, Bostrom led the second race from start to finish and kept a hard-charging Troy Corser at bay during the closing stages. Corser attacked Bostrom after getting past Colin Edwards and Neil Hodgson but Bostrom kept his eye on his pit board and kept up the gap constant at around 3 seconds.

“Ben was reading his board like a smart guy and he put in some quick laps when I tried to catch him,” explained Corser. “I pushed hard, but not hard enough to crash.”

Neil Hodgson fought off a determined challenge from Colin Edwards to hold onto third place, meaning the podium for the second race had the same three riders as the podium for race one. And again it was a sweep for V-Twins on Dunlop tires. “My race didn’t go according to plan, which was to hang onto Ben,” said reigning British Superbike Champion Hodgson. “Then I got caught up in a big dice with Troy Corser and Colin Edwards and we lost touch with Bostrom. It was a great dice, really enjoyable but I think I burnt the tire up a little in it.”

Troy Bayliss finished in fourth, with Eric Bostrom fifth and Edwards sixth. The result means that Troy Corser is still third in the title but has closed the points gap to 61 as the Superbikes prepare to go to the next round at Brands Hatch in England on July 29th.

Gobert Vs. Hacking At Laguna Seca

Copyright Roadracing World Publishing, Inc.

On the cool-off lap for the 600cc Supersport race at Laguna Seca, Anthony Gobert and Jamie Hacking made contact repeatedly, and it wasn’t any accident. Both riders agree that contact was made; in fact, both riders readily admitted they intentionally hit the other rider.

According to both riders, Hacking was going into turn five, waving to the crowd. Gobert came up on the inside of Hacking and clipped his clutch lever, putting Hacking into a wobble. Hacking pulled up on the left side of Gobert and backhanded him in the helmet. Then Gobert pulled up alongside Hacking and started kicking at his bike.

The reason? According to Gobert, Hacking cut across the front of his Yamaha in turn two at the start of the race. Gobert was entirely unapologetic about his actions, saying instead that when he was kicking at Hacking, “I would have liked a little better impact, too. It’s frustrating, being so injured because he needs a good smack in the mouth. It’s one thing if it’s racing, but he does it on purpose. He thinks it’s funny.”

It seems that Gobert’s complaints against Hacking have been accumulating over a period of time. While discussing this incident, Gobert mentioned that Hacking ran into him at Road Atlanta.

When told the nature of Gobert’s complaint, Hacking said, “That’s it? If I’d hit him, it would be something different, I didn’t do it on purpose. If he can’t handle it, he shouldn’t be here. The problem is he can’t get up the balls to come talk to me face to face. He needs to straighten his act out. It’s racing. I’m fighting my way to the front. I’m sure it was close, but nobody even touched.”

Ben Bostrom Does The Double, Wins Second World Superbike Race At Laguna Seca
