We see it every weekend in football, but now it seems its made its way to motorsport. :(

Stolen from another forum, but it appears this rider falls from his bike. Tries to get it restarted and can't. So dives down and feigns injury to cause a red flag.

Looking at the website its a Brazilian Championship, a foreign member on the forum I took it from said that thanks to the video footage he was banned and disqualified from the Championship.

Pretty pathetic if you ask me, no need for it what so ever and puts other riders in danger.
