Pedrosa will be cursing the electronics at the moment I reckon.

Pedrosa will be cursing the electronics at the moment I reckon.

I think he would be cursing Marc for removing the electronics; cheeky bastard snipped the wire for the rear wheel sensor on Dani's bike half way through the race.

Yeah but a pefectly legit racing incident I reckon.

[Kornholio]

Yeah but a perfectly legit racing incident I reckon.

Hell yeah, it's not as if Marc physically knocked him off the bike or crashed into him... Just knicked a wire.

Wonder what Dani would have done if he realised he had no TC and not crashed? Keep going without it and try and get some points or pull into pits and retire

Retired I would say. They can't live without these stupid electronic aids.

It would have been awesome to see Danis real skill if he'd recovered the slide and continued the race, but there was really nothing he could have done at the time.

Dunno. But Stoner and MM would've be stoked I reckon!

Agreed, can't really say that there was any intent to harm or anything like that from Marc. However, the incident happened because he followed Dani in and outbraked himself, which we have seen a lot this season from the rookie. I will say that he has cleaned up his act from some of the shit he was pulling in Moto2, but there are still a lot of incidents of him doing stuff like running up the back of others.

I would say that Marc is running much closer to the ragged edge of things than anyone else, and that is why he is winning in his rookie year. Sooner or later I would think that is going to end in tears though, for him or for someone else.

(Then again he may get away with it for the next ten years, who knows?)

Yep. You wanna win badly enough...you gotta take the risks. And sure you may get hurt. But he'd see that as a better option than not winning.

David Emmett's on the Marquez/Pedrosa incident. I seem to agree with him; Marc generally rides with reckless abandon, but this incident doesn't constitute enough to penalize him.

Did anyone else have audio problems when the crash happened?
Our audio was ahead of the picture, so we heard about the crash before we saw it.

Watching on Motogp.com at about 7am this morning.
