start him from the back of the grid

I really want to see that race happen.

[I reckon that's bullshit. He fucked up his braking, but that happens every race to multiple people.

So do fucking I.

Yes but he still made contact with another rider, he had plenty of room to stand it up, but instead he choose to stay on his line (which would probably still have had him running wide). Fair call I reckon. He was being impatient.

Sorry Bro. Your outlook is GAY.

Very minor incident agreed, but fairly serous outcome for Pedrosa. I'm actually not surprised that there was a penalty, neither am I surprised if it has no immediate effect.

Following that incident even HRC said Marquez needs to change his style. The problem has arisen because he should have been banged harder, earlier, when it would have been justified, but he wasn't. So now Race Direction have to make their point over a very minor incident.

Hopefully Marquez will get the message - but I wouldn't bet on it. Going by his previous performance they could start him from the back of the grid and he'd still win anyway.

WTF? What if MM had hit the back end of Pedrosa's bike and not severed the traction control wire? You guys need to harden the fuck up. What...because he's beating up on your BF's?

Can you imagine if the same rules were applied equally to every rider in every class? I mean there's no reason not apply the rules like that if race direction really is concerned about rider safety.

Can you imagine the grid shuffle that would take place if half the riders of Moto2 and Moto3 were sent to the back of the grid every couple of races? The sanctions that would be put on the Ducati factory guys? Plus side it probably wouldn't affect the CRT guys too much.

After all this is a matter of safety and discouraging aggressive riding styles. This isn't office politics on a grand scale, no sirree, no political face-saving BS here.

If yer auntie had balls she'd be yer uncle? Even HRC says MM needs to change his style, he is getting too close too often. Doesn't bother me, but apparently it bothers Race Direction. And Pedrosa?

Just one more point and we will.

I'm in two minds, either it was a delayed penalty from that hit he put on lorenzo and other scuffles, or race direction are so far in HRC's pocket they would penalise an HRC rider to 'protect' both HRC riders.

Come on man! I've seen harder things done by Rossi on nearly everyone else with no penalty! Rossi vs Stoner at Laguna Seca ring any bells? Rossi vs Gibernau at Jerez jolt the memory? How 'bout Rossi vs Lorenzo at Montegi when they were last team mates? Rossi used the guy as a fucking berm. No penalty given for any of those moves...all harder/more dangerous moves than a wee tap from behind mate.

Whilst 'T' boning people can't be condoned...swaping fairing paint should be encouraged.

He didn't hit you, he didn't bump you, he didn't nudge you. He rubbed you. And rubbing, is racing!

Too fucking right Bro.

Rubbing is naughty.....

Sorry Bro. Your outlook is GAY.

Technically, you supporting people rear ending each other is more gay.

While I've never been a racer I'm gonna call bullshit! Put yourself in Pedro's place. If I did that to you after you'd just caught me and passed me that early in the race, would you be coming over to shake my hand afterwards. You'd be fucking dark on it I bet.

I'm not saying they shouldn't be racing hard, but he wasn't about to pass Pedro, he'd stuffed up his braking and got to close.

A gentle reminder from race direction that there are consequences is not out of order
