If you watch the video, it was a definite move. Zarco had been on his outside down the straight, so he probably just wanted a better line through the corner and didn't realise how close he was.

Might have been avoided if Zarco had given Marquez a little more room, but that's easy to say when you're sitting on the couch watching it in slow motion.

Yeah by MM standards it wasn't much of a movement. What he used to do in Moto2 was just plain dangerous though and he got called out for it by the other riders. That was what annoyed me about him was the guy had sooo much talent but had to resort to tactics like that to win in moto2. Those years are over now though and while he may lose his head from time to time (argentina) he's much better than he used to be. Used to give me the shits watching him braking behind riders in 2013 where he wouldn't adjust his brake marker when they were in front and just about smash into the back of them (or actually smash into the back of em in DP's case).

MM / Zarco crash was def spectacular
Looking at the Vid I have to agree looked like Zarco was making ground on the outside and MM swept out a bit to get a better line.
Similar to someone sweeping wider last minute to get into their drive. Not good at 300k.
Was MMs fault I reckon. Zarco was 1/2 bike length up the side, lost a little under brakes but still with a front wheel overlap.

Man does Maverick look happy or what - positively fizzing.
From watching the interviews I get that they just stopped chasing their tales and tried to find lines and ride around the negatives.
No really big changes in hardware just approach combined with a gain in electronics - and of coarse a track that he and Yamaha really like.

Iannone was pissed at lack of power and getting blasted off the track every straight.

Damn good to see some different faces on the podium

ONLY one race to go

Have hope, Sepang and Valencia.. That's two races

Marquez definitely moved across on Zarco, but he didn't know Zarco was that close. They both said Zarco got a bit of a boost from Miller's wake so he was a bit ahead of where he and Marquez expected. It was a racing incident.

Zarco broke MMs tail piece last year at PI too. Pattern?? (just kidding).

Video of DP26 after his crash in PI just flopping onto his back after sitting up doing the rounds on the internet (can't find the link but think it was reddit). Pretty much sums up his season.
He crashed on a cold front tyre in the middle of the race, shows how badly he is struggling this year to get heat into them. Poor bastard, I'm praying for 40+ degree weather in the next 2 rounds so he can finish the season with a win. Bring on the heat!

I would say Malaysia is his best chance unless Valencia is super hot like last year.
I shall dance naked at the full moon while howling Dani's name

You ever seen a pale skeleton with 3 legs howl at the moon? Pics not necessary.

You bastard. That is a mental image only alcohol can erase.

Odd things in Sepang:
Rins fastest qualifier.
One of Rins bikes went up in flames in the pits.
MM has been holding the bike up on his elbow again.
And again.
