Watch: Road Rash gets real as motorcyclist kicks fellow racer, switches off his bike
Mumbai: Many of us have enjoyed playing Road Rash and taking pleasure in kicking our opponents as we tried to win the race. But a majority of us have been sensible enough not to try this while we drive a bike.
However, that was not the case when a motorcyclist kicked his fellow racer and switched off his bike during the Moto 3 warm-up race in Argentina on Sunday.
The organisers of the race penalised Romano Fenati, who kicked his opponent Niklas Ajo, during the Gran Premio Red Bull de la Republica Argentina.

The duo were earlier involved in an argument. While the race went on, Fenati came side-by-side to Ajo’s bike to kick it.

Although there was no injury to either of the racers, the scenario could have been worse; considering there were other racers who were driving in a high speed. Fenati did not stop at that. Before the second lap of the practice race, the Italian switched off Ajo’s bike.
While Ajo tried to maintain his cool, Fenati's unsporting behaviour drew this reaction from him.

Although Fenati apologised to Ajo and his team after winning the race, his behaviour did not earn him any praise.
