I think a fair punishment would be zero points for Marquez, Rossi is awarded the points where he was at the time of the incident, and Marquez starts from pit lane on the next race. Then they will see if he can pass without knocking slower riders off the track. He isn't much on patience but I guess that's what it takes to win? Lucky to not have injured someone!
MM should have been thrown off the race.. BLACK FLAG! weirdest MotoGP yet..
what a bunch of horsesh*t I'm reading here... Rossi is a hypocritical ass. Biffed people of the track for years, now it's bad when it happens to him. Let him retire, good riddance.
Hey Photoguuzi, can you post a screen shot of a second before that one, where Rossi left the door open?
John, and in the presser MM acknowledged after the initial contact that he was out of control (from locking the front) just trying to stay up and that is why they went wide to the grass. I have not seem slow motion replay to confirm the locked front yet. The real problem was MM was going so much faster than everyone else and he was too impatient to wait for a mistake in blocking to pass. VR guessed wide and MM pounced inside as VR was slamming the door. As we can see in the first pic posted, MM was ahead by a tire width on the inside when contact was made. To me, that's just racing at that level. Just like Flat Track, give those guys an inch and they will slide inside and be bar banging.As far as Zarco, I am a huge fan of his and Yamaha, but I had picked Pedrosa for a podium spot in the league and got screwed out of that with Zarco's move. I think there was less room for JZ than MM had. As a matter of fact I had MM, VR and DP on my podium. Lowest point total in 2 years, only 70. I got some catching up to do!
pretty much as I saw it too. I didn't see that MM locked the front with Rossi but he was "out of control" from the time he killed the bike on the grid until the end of the race. I don't agree that it was just racing. He was too aggressive for conditions and ran into 2 or 3 competitors. I disagree that it was a flat track move. Flat track is way too dangerous to run a guy into the fence.
While I enjoy MGP discussion unfortunately for me I don't get to watch it until the midweek highlight show so would you please not give even a hint of the results ( Rossi mugged ) in the post title. Thanks.
