Default race winner celebrates his win a lap too early

Eeeee. This is awkward. See the bloke in the Power `Ranger suit celebrating his race win? He's premature. By a lap.



Yep, embarrassed bikesmith, Riccardo Russo, held a three-bike lead over the second-place rider, but mistook the penultimate lap for the chequered flag.



His premature celebrations, which included some cast-iron classics like the air punch, self-cheer, and peg-stand, costs him the 2012 Italian CIV championship race, held in Mugello.



In the immortal words of Kenny Rogers, you never count your money when you're sitting at the table...

That's pretty funny. I wonder what went wrong.
