DO NOT SPOIL THE WORLD SUPERBIKE RACE PLEASE! It doesn't air till tomorrow.
Schumi apparently had some sort of steering failure. He decided to stay out on Intermediates too long and would've lost at least 2 places if he pitted to go to dries. He was chopping and blocking De La Rosa and went off twice trying to stay in front of him (cutting the same chicane) and apparently that damaged the car and he had to retire. Still, he was driving like a jackass and probably should've gotten a drive-through penalty for cutting a chicane to maintain position.
Alonso had come in to switch to dry tires and I believe that's when he gave up the lead to Button, who was right on his ass up to that point. The right rear lugnut got put on wrong and he hit a tire wall. Some were saying he was having a driveshaft problem, some say it was the lugnut. Guess we'll find out this week.
