20/20 hindsight, he could have pulled off-line and checked that the bike would still operate correctly with the suspension lowered, but yeah, both issues were racing incidents. No real blame on any of the riders, just excrement happens.
One thing does not sit well with me, is that this (potentially) changed the championship picture. He was eliminated 6 races ago. But (and that is a big butt) in this case he was mixing it up with guys that do/did have a shot at the chip, while he does not AND he has been off the bike for a while, which causes me to think less of him for displaying little consideration.
this is stupid thinking. There’s only legit 3 guys that have a shot at the title so does the rest of the field show a little consideration and stay home too? Lol MM has a better shot at the ship than Taka. Even after missing 35 races this year.
So he and all the guys not in the top four in the championship should now stop from the pit lane after Quartararo, Espargaro, Bagnaia and the Bastianini are safely through the first few turns? Marquez was on the lead lap. There is absolutely no sensible reason he shouldn't race anyone in his vicinity.
all the articles before and after the race had him as the main focus....some would say he IS the show when he's going to race
This is false. If you can run at the front, which the original target of this label could not, then it has no application.
