Default Celebration -- a premature one

http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/b...ail-2012-07-12

Watch a biker’s premature celebration

Eeeee. This is awkward. See the bloke in the Power `Ranger suit celebrating his race win? He's premature. By a lap.

Yep, embarrassed bikesmith, Riccardo Russo, held a three-bike lead over the second-place rider, but mistook the penultimate lap for the chequered flag.

His premature celebrations, which included some cast-iron classics like the air punch, self-cheer, and peg-stand, costs him the 2012 Italian CIV championship race, held in Mugello.

In the immortal words of Kenny Rogers, you never count your money when you're sitting at the table...

Man, that's mess up...

And I am surprised he did even get hit while the race was still going on.

I saw this a few days ago and just felt bad for the guy. He must feel like the worlds biggest ***. Im sure he will never do that again. I' also pretty sure that he will be remembered for this
