Brazilian motorcyclist André Verissimo went viral after celebrating his victory early during a race at the Ayrton Senna International Racecourse in Goiânia, Brazil. The gesture was expensive, as it eventually relegated him to third place on the podium.
A video of the scene shows the driver entering the last right and turning to make sure he has no opponents watching him closely. After that, he got on the motorcycle and released the accelerator to raise his hands to the sky in a gesture of triumph. The moment of relaxation was taken advantage of by two of his followers, who accelerated him and overtook him without the Brazilian being able to do anything to prevent him.
Despite the fact that many internet users mocked the pilot for what happened, Verissimo took the mistake as an opportunity to laugh at himself, RT reported.
