And who can forget the WSB incident where he took out 4 riders, one for the remainder of the year.Ī recent article in popular mag portrayed him as easygoing and soft spoken. In the last two years, he has ran and laid down in the middle of the track to draw a red (VIR I think), made unnecessary contact with a number of riders, last year he intentionally ran into someone who “got in his way” at Fontana – well after exiting the corner, and he has generally been an asshole on the track. Aside from that, I hope that he gets sued and loses some coin for this too. Yates is a whiny little spoiled child, out of control, and should be suspended for a race. #YATERS GONNA YATE SERIES#He needs to be dealt with for the good of the series and the sport. Physically brutal behavior in direct-contact physical sports is embarrassing but somewhat understandable if you take the physical contact too far. The impact to the teams and sponsors would keep the riders in line. It would be easy enough to verify the aggressor from cornerworkers and video tape. Yates displayed this behavior last year as well by lying on an active racetrack at VIR obviously more concerned about getting back in the race than the safety of his fellow competitors. Yates displayed abominably poor sportsmanship after the incident jumping, kicking, pushing and butting a possible injured fellow sportsman. How champions deal with that adversity is what sets them apart from the other competitors. Racing incidents happen and must be dealt with as many other adversities in the sport. Yates was at “fault” for the racing incident is not the issue here. The behavior of Yoshimura Suzuki Rider Aaron Yates after yesterday’s on track incident during the Daytona 200 was reprehensible. Motorcycle racing is dangerous enough without a short-tempered egomaniac riding a 190 bhp motorcycle around with 30 other guys that might get in his way. What if he loses control of his temper at 190 mph on the banking? In my opinion, he is a danger to himself and the other riders. From what I could tell, Aaron showed poor judgment on his line selection, but I suppose one could argue that Yates was inadvertently in the wrong place at the wrong time.īut his behavior at Daytona this past weekend was totally unsportsman-like and shows that he can not control his temper. Then there’s the incident at Leguna Seca last year with Eric Bostrom. I can’t remember which track it was, but he was shaking his head and pumping his arms in disgust as he passed a back marker. I lost respect for him a couple years ago when I saw him get all bent out of shape when a slower rider was in his way during a practice session for a race. He is one of the most talented riders in AMA racing. I think Aaron Yates should be banned from racing in the AMA.
