BSB: Glen Richards crash update
Vhisordown's BSB mole gets a whiff of some slight (and alleged) incompetence in the HM Plant Honda team
VhiSORDOWN'S BSB mole has uncovered details of HM Plant rider Glen Richard's Knockhill crash, which resulted in a broken femur for the talented Australian.
It's alleged the accident was caused by the Honda mechanic responsible for Richards' bike re-fitting the front wheel with the brake lines the wrong side of the carbon front guard.
It's alleged the carbon fibre cut through a brake line and left Richards with no front brakes on the approach to Radio Hairpin.
It's not the first time this has happened to the Honda camp; a similar incident involving Johnny Rea a few years back in Supersport 600 class almost ended in a courtroom battle. It's alleged Honda subsequently offered Rea the HM Plant BSB ride as a get out of jail card.
If this is proven then someone at team HM plant will be getting their P45
Sources say Richards will now miss the rest of the season due to the extent of his injuries.

On the same subject if you fit your own brakes and dont tighten the fittings I suppose you cant sue yourself
