    Both at fault.

    A needs to hold his line
    B needs to pass safely

    sorry dude ya can't have it both ways-chicken and egg
    If A had held his line then B's overtake was safe OR if B hadn't tried to pass then it diddn't matter what A did on track.

    Actually if your on the race track you can't just hand responsibility completely over to someone else. Sure, if your looking for someone to blame then go ahead. If you want to prevent something similar happening then everyones input into the incident needs to be taken into account.

    I have had riders passing me take me out, and I have been taken out passing riders, both times weren't my fault (important to note this is in my own opinion). Either way I got grumpy for a while then got over it, best was is to talk it out with the other party.
    Race day, track day, rider training day, driving to the track even, sometimes shit just happens. Its how you come back from it is what defines a rider.

    Probably a shared responsibility thing (racing incident) but I'm leaning towards Rider B having more responsibility.

    At the end of the day if you want to get past somebody the onus is on YOU to execute the move properly.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    It seems odd to be worrying about apportioning blame to somthing that happened years ago.

    Is this how sad, bitter, old men are born?

    MNZ issued the race license to the riders in the first place. What responsibility do they have, may I ask?
