I'll have a beer to him. Ok...I'll be drinking regardless. But yeah...I'd love to see him win some races too. Be great to see. Good for the sport too.

I hope you are pacing yourself with the Steinlagers P ?
You fall down pissed and damage the Surgeon's work, he'll rip you a new one!

The guy wouldn't make a very good cabinet maker. Can't drive a screw in square to save himself.

I would actually like to hear what Stoner had to say about the incident, just to see who he stuck up for.

Yeah, despite the smiles and handshakes Jorge just keeps banging on about *that* pass. Race Direction felt compelled to make a statement as to how they arrived at their decision, but still Jorge bangs on. It would seem that Marquez has done a very thorough job of getting inside Jorge's head.

Was interested to watch the interview with Crutchlow. When he referred to "doing something else with his life" if he lost his ride to Espagero and couldn't get another, I wondered if he meant cycling. He trains with Bradley Wiggins, Tour de France champ, and BW couldn't afford to slow down and wait for him, so he must be near professional level as a rider.

In the current video interview he says if he lost his ride he'd like to give cycling a go, 26 is a bit late, but if he were to train full time for cycling who knows?

Stoner and Lorenzo got a bit gay on it towards passing I reckon...too fucking polite about it. About the only real *tough* pass I recall Stoner doing was on either De Puniet or Bautista (can't remember which one) at Mugello.

I reckon. If he does't let it go it's not good for the head. It'd be a sad day for road racing if MM was ever fined for such a move.

There has been a lot said. Race Direction said if JL had gone down there would have been a penalty, if it was any other lap there would have been a penalty, but as Pedrosa said, "Last corner, last lap".

they asked Jorge about it during the monster interviews at Le Mans.....but the girls were standing behind them and i have no idea what was said....

Exactly how I see it too.

Seems like a bad double standard to have, either it was dangerous or it wasn't, lap count shouldn't come into it.

I would stress that we cannot allow any rider whether it be Marquez or anyone else to be consistently riding such they are becoming a danger. We won't let that happen. But everyone starts the season with a clean slate and a decision is taken totally independent of history."

Also this. It sounds like they mean if he was doing that often they would give him a penalty, but then say the decision is taken independently of history. Isn't the idea of the point system each dangerous incident gets a point or two, but only by having heaps of points are you actually penalised? Thus having its own way of taking history into account.

I'm never raced on the tarmac, so can't pass judgement if the incident itself was dangerous (would be fine on dirt, but the speeds there make it look dangerous to my eye), but most of what is being said is well it was sort of dangerous but we will let him off cos last lap/new season/good tv...

[cmoore]

the argument that he didn't go down so therefore no penalty is an issue, maybe if it had been another less skilful rider they would have gone down...doesn't change the action that caused it.....but then again if you throw a punch at someone and it misses you don't get charged with assult, if you hit them you do....the action was the same....if you push someone and they have good reactions and save themselves..nothing...if you push someone and they fall and hit their head and die...manslaughter....same action that caused it.....just saying.....the action was the same, we all react differently depending on the outcome....not 100% convinced that is right...understandable but not right...if your involved with H&S....you spend all your time looking for the root cause of an accident...I think the reason the bikes hit was because MM went into the corner too fast and didn't leave room for JL to react...the outcome could have been many things including a crash ( to either or both)an over run by MM...etc....was it wrong? maybe.. . does it spice up the season..hell yes.

[sugilite:Me]

Every angle I've seen has me believing Jorge would of know MM was there and he then took too little to late action. End off imho.
