What the #*$!: “Schwalbe” Introduced In Motorsport?
We have seen this behavior develop in football matches in the last 20 years. A player that fakes an injury to get his opponent penalized or deliberately tries to get a penalty kick. The Germans even have a beautiful word for this phenomena: Schwalbe. This disgusting behavior now seems to have spread to our beloved motorsport as well.
Primaguida, a member of our community, posted the following remarkable video on our forums about a Brazilian motorbike pilot faking a fatal injury and deliberately tries to red flag the race but forgot that nowadays there are such things as camera’s recording your actions. Welcome in 2012 dude!

hilarious
What people will do amazes me every day.
Haha. I really want to know what happened after !
Funny but also disgusting. I will never forget that image of Marco Simoncelli lying there lifeless in Moto GP for real live on tv. So to see some idiot like this doing this is poor. The funny part was the roll he did and looking up to see if people noticed
Funny thing is that you don’t need a license to play football or whatever, but in motorsport you do, so if someone does that there is only one punishment in my eyes
I hope they cancelled his race license for not clearing from the track & endangering others….
what a complete ass, this rages me so much :devilish: , total disrespect
A Grand Prix Moto Racer in Brazil has been banned from a local championship after pretending to faint during the race.
The city of Santa Cruz do Sul in Southern Brazil witnessed one of the most bizarre scenes ever in Moto Racing.
During the Rio Grande do Sul State Moto Grand Prix, competitor Marlinton dos Reis Teixeira – known by his nickname Kalunga – was unable to make a turn on the rainy track and slipped.
He lost precious seconds trying to return to the race and decided to go for a red flag by pretending to faint in the middle of the track.
Several racers passed by him and luckily Kalunga was not hit. Some of his fellow riders then stopped to help him.
An ambulance and a safety car were sent to help the apparently stricken rider and paramedics took three minutes to remove him.
Later, the MotoRacing Association of Rio Grande do Sul State found out about Kalunga’s apparent faint and banned the rider from the championship.

LMFAO that fall on the track, lost it there xD
#1 Cristiano Ronaldo Racing Team!
Well deserved.
FIFA should take note. That’s how you keep a sport clean.
And the guy shows a complete lack of common sense, and care about everyone’s safety, including his own. He has no business in a racing track, or in any kind of vehicle, motorized or not. In fact, I’m not sure he should be allowed to walk around.
Tomorrow’s newspaper: Hollywood discovers new acting talent!
Should be life banne.
The bike was to heavy and he called it all the names under the sun so the bike secretly punched him.
#3 Arjen Robben Racing Team!
Where the hell were the stewards? What an ass.
Absolutely disgusting! My club would have never run the race without corner workers properly stationed.
The video of my people; watch it! :p
Hey….there is some :poop: on track :O_o:
Yes I am surprised the flag marshall prior to the bend was not watching him anyway ? And never mind getting banned from the championship – he must surely be ashamed to show his face ever again in the paddock.
Hope they ban him for life for that stunt, unforgivable.
pmsl when seen this he got we he deserved in punishment.
quick ? any1 know which soccer team he has been signed up by ? LOL
Absolutely outragious behaviour, lets hope this doesnt become a common accurance in our beloved motorsport, this guy should be banned from competition for 4 years a year for each minute he layed on the track endangering himself and the other competitors, this is the sought of act you would expect from a 5year old child, not a motoracer, disgusting :poop:
Yes, this is pretty stupid behavior from him. Not sure why he was waving at the two bikes that passed by him before he laid on the ground. Perhaps he wanted to get a ride?
While this bloke is clearly a clown, it is a bit of a worry that it took 2 minutes until someone went to help him… Youd think someone who didnt know he was taking "a dive" would have jumped off to help.

Another driver or team member commented on YouTube that Kalunga’s brother, after all the ‘near-death’ acting seen in this video, threatened the inspectors with a gun trying to avoid the bike inspection.
Kalunga seems to have a long history of incidents like this one, so the ban was welcome by the rest of the teams.
Guess that’s the reason the ambulance crew was reluctant to arrive at the crash spot. :laugh:
30 days in Simberia for that guy
We have a show here called SoccerAM. It used to have a segment called ‘Extras From Platoon’, maybe we should start to roll one for motorsports too.
I’m a huge motorcycle racing fan.
I remember watching Simoncelli last year pushing the likes of Pedrosa, Lorenzo and Stoner for podium positions last year. I remember him describing blasting down the main straight at Philip Island on TV and I thought he was hilarious.
It was one of the most horrifying accidents I’ve ever seen when he was killed. Watching him lying limp on the track with his helmet off caused a sinking feeling in my stomach I’ve not felt before or since.
Someone deliberately faking a very serious injury like that is absolutely disgusting. A lifetime ban is the least that should happen to him.
2 Days later he was expelled from the championship forever.
If FIFA isnt clean, how are they supposed to keep the sport clean lol
If only the Ambulance had, had a well timed (maybe even a deliberately faked) brake failure and had run him over, now that would have been poetic justice!
Or try to bring him back to life with an electrical shock :giggle:
