Well then he has succeeded in winning the title chased for a year among thousands of problems. Ma there' a big stain over the Loris Capirossi iris in the 250 of the motorcycle world championship. An ending gesture, at the last bend of the grand Prix of Buenos Aires, that may obscure the verdict obtained on field. Scene of the event is the race-deciding hairpin bend. Capirossi is full engaged in a neck and neck with Harada, his team mate at the Aprilia but now his rival in title conquer. The Japanese runs getting advantage of an absent-minded moment of the azure racer and overtakes him. So the numbers turn upside down and the world championship seems to slip Loris away, who does the suspected manoeuvre when rallying. When Harada is bend to take the curve, Capirossi attempts an improbable internal trajectory, ramming the Nippon athlete and making him fall. At the finishing line the boy of Borgo Rivola is first, but since Harada claims he is disqualified after 4 hours judges have been consulting. Finally mathematics awards anyhow Capirossi who leaded by four points over the rival the day before the race. Holding the world title, it remains the same big doubts about the legitimacy and furthermore the propriety of the azure athlete. Harada, as Valentino Rossi, had in fact won 5 season Grand Prix, leaving Capirossi only two victories. Numbers show it clearly. If Loris has got to the top, he had not any starting merit. Another matter is instead the presumed premeditation in putting out of action Harada when the championship seemed it could slip him away. The manoeuvre of the Aprilia racer reminded the ramming done by Schumacher to Villeneuve last year in the last Formula 1 Grand Prix . The aim could seem the same; that is putting out of action the rival and even oneself but being comforted by the more points booty. Capirossi has clearly talk at this purpose, on the spot, giving away, maybe for his excessive ingenuity, his true intentions. "I would have make fallen even the devil in that circumstance. The stake was too high ". Heavy declarations, adjusting a little their aim later, but all the same true, regarding certain aspects. The truth is that at the last bend, in few seconds, a year of sacrifices were getting to an end. Ever the most clear minded and experienced champion would not know which alternative choose as he realised he was being overtaken at the utmost instant: Loris, 20 and more years old has opted for an instinctive solution, as dangerous as incorrect. It does not matter which explanations he gives. It will ever be as trying proving that black is white and white black. It remain he holds the championship title and the anger of Harada, knocked nearby the final line. The rest is all in his instinctive and more than ever revealing declarations. "The end justifies the means ". How ugly it is when it peeps out politician's strategies in sport too. |
