In the most “Well, duh” news you’ll read this week, rider Romano Fenati got dumped by his current team and, most likely, the team he planned to run for in 2019 after . As it turns out, deliberately putting the safety of others in jeopardy has repercussions. Imagine that!

The incident happened at the MotoGP San Marino Grand Prix in Italy this weekend, where Stefano Manzi and Fenati raced for position in the second-tier Moto2 race. They both eventually ran off track, but kept right next to each other—until Fenati got ahold of of Manzi’s brake lever. Manzi lost control of his bike and later crashed, while officials gave Fenati a black flag and a two-race suspension.

It seemed like a light punishment for doing what Fenati did, but his race teams later stepped in to pick up where the officials left off. Fenati’s current race team, Marinelli Snipers, announced Monday that it’s ending his contract immediately “for his unsporting, dangerous and damaging conduct for the image of all.”

Here’s the rest of the from the team’s Facebook page, and pardon the somewhat clunky English:

With extreme regret, we have to note that his irresponsible act endangered the life of another rider and can’t be apologized in no way [sic]. The rider, from this moment, will not participate anymore to a race with the Marinelli Snipers team. The team, Marinelli Cucine, Rivacold and all the other sponsors and the people that always supported him, apologized with all the World Championship fans.

Not only will Fenati not have a ride with his former team when his suspension is up, but he seems to ruined his Moto2 deal for 2019, too. Fenati planned to race for MV Agusta in 2019, but its president, Giovanni Castiglioni, that he’ll do everything he can to stop that from happening.

Here’s what Castiglioni’s post said, verbatim:

This has been the worse [sic] and saddest thing I ever seen in a bike race. True sportsmen would never act this way. If I would be Dorna I would ban him from world racing.

Regarding his contract for a future position as rider of MV Agusta Moto 2 , I will oppose myself in every way to stop it . It won’t happen , he doesn’t represent our company true values [x-shaped sword emojis]

Fenati, who reports kicked out at another rider during a Moto3 warm up in 2015, has had a bit of time to think about his actions and get canned from his racing commitments, so he’s naturally very sorry for all of it. Fenati posted a on Monday in Italian, saying, translated via Google Chrome, that he apologizes “to the whole sports world” for what happened.

The statement said with a clear mind, Fenati “wish[es] it had been just a bad dream.” Manzi probably does too. Fenati said he “made a disgraceful gesture,” and that he was “not a man.” He said he shouldn’t have reacted, and that he understands the resentment toward him after he, uh, put someone in danger.

From the statement, as translated to English online:

A man would finish the race and then go into Race Direction to try and get justice for the previous episodes. [...]

I want to apologize to everyone who believed in me and all those who felt hurt by my action.

An image of me and of sport has come out, everything, horrible.

I’m not like that, who knows me well knows!

Fenati said he’s never put someone else’s life in jeopardy, and that he’s instead always been one to point out “that there are dangerous pilots, on the track, for driving style.” Here’s the rest of the statement, again translated:

It’s true, unfortunately I have an impulsive character, but my intention was certainly not to hurt a pilot like me but I wanted to make him understand that what he was doing was dangerous and that I could have made some mistakes as well as he he had just made them to me!

I do not want to justify myself, I know that my gesture is not justifiable, I just want to apologize to everyone.

Now I will have time to reflect and clear my ideas.

Fenati will have time to reflect, too, since it doesn’t look like he’ll have a bike to ride in Moto2 for at least a little while.

Fenati is out at MV Agusta, according to . He was also to the Rimini Public Prosecutor’s Office by a consumer-rights group to be investigated for attempted murder.
