I was watching Le Mans coverage on Eurosport, but, due to some problems I cannot influence, I had no commentary. :( So, what was that with Honda no. 111 and winning Suzuki no. 59? I clearly saw Honda driver kicking Suzuki. :confused: Is this new driving style that I'm not aware of- elbows and kicking? First there was Biaggi/Rossi incident (OK, there was Melandri before, and Capirossi/Harada even before that- but those didn't involve martial arts)... :(

I have no idea due to the lack of coverage here but if anyone knows anything and has race results, please post them.
Elephino- I'll keep my eye on Eurosport site, they said the results and report will be published soon...
OK, I managed to scrape up some info. Results can be found on the http://www.race24.com/ page, while the report is @ http://www.race24.com/lemans/news24.html . No mention of the incident between winning Suzuki no 59 (IIRC), and runner up Honda (no. 111), but it reports that Honda driver has helped another driver make a gravel stop.
I vaguely remember seeing that moment happen, and the commentator seemed to think that the two riders were only joking around with each other, and that it was not a serious thing. I'm not sure, it looked quite hard...
