Facing Court Date Next Month For 2013 Incident, Niccolo Canepa Offers Explanation Of Recently Surfaced Video Apparently Showing Him Causing Another Rider To Crash During A Track Day At Mugello
Het ziet er naar uit, ja, maar naar het schijnt was die crashende gozer dus gaar bezig, en niet Canepa zelf.
And here we are to the video. If you rid yourself of the prejudice that might cloud your judgment, you can see what really happened.
He was probably annoyed at me by my request, or maybe didn’t understanding the gesture I made. Cappato firstly did a wheelie exiting the curve, while l WAS TURNED and out of trajectory IN ORDER TO WAIT FOR MY PUPIL, and then he landed few centimeters from me. After that he got alongside me and started forcing me to the right side of the track (while furiously moving his helmet), forcing me to slow down which created a dangerous situation both for me and for the other riders approaching at high speed, he did this even though the track in front of him was completely free so there was no excuse for his behavior. I was Shocked by the unexpected and hostile actions of Cappato as in the meantime l saw my pupil approaching very fast and my immediate gesture towards Cappato was meant to say: “BACK OFF, STAY AWAY”, in order to restart quickly without risking an accident. Those who claim to have seen me in the video grabbing his brake, cannot do that without malice: it can bee seen that I DID NOT TOUCH THE BRAKE, MY HAND TOUCHED THE FOREARM OF CAPPATO, who, probably because he was frightened, pulled too hard on the brake, losing control of his bike. That’s it.
