    After you watch the race I’m curious of your thoughts.
     
  3. If he agrees with you? :)

    Won’t change my opinion. I’m curious as his thoughts.

    There are maybe a handful of people whom I’d consider as much or more knowledgeable than I am in these situations and he’s on the list.

    I'm skeert.

    Based on all the descriptions and ignoring the personal stuff it sure sounds like "it sucks but shit happens". JL trying to get back at it after running wide, Pedro thinking the hole was bigger than it was, Dovi kind of being there, and boom they all go flying. Unless someone has a habit of doing things it's really hard to assign blame when you can only really do so if you can figure out intent.

    Canet however. Eek.

    Racing shit happens to me. I wouldn't even call it Dani diving for a hole that closed up - he just held his line, didn't change a thing to go through there so I wouldn't fault him a single bit - and add in there is no way he could see Lorenzo coming back to the inside, he sure wasn't trying a block pass or the like. I don't think Lorenzo needed to come back over that hard/far/fast since it put him off the line coming out but I can't fault him in any way for doing it. I don't think he was trying to block Dovi or anyone else, looks like he just yanked it to the right to stay on track.

    178SV now retired...

    So you're saying it's Dovi's fault.... Kidding!

    I'd blame Dovi for pushing Jorge wide sure. But that alone didn't cause the crash.

    Could blame him for not pushing Lorenzo out of the way earlier :D

    It's a typical race move. If somebody dive bombs and runs wide, you cut back under. Dani came in the picture too late to be seen. If you watch it again you see Lorenzo pickup the bike right before Dani rams him

    Yep, looked like he saw and him and had an oh shit moment.

    Steeltoe What's my move?

    Fk Iannone. Contract speed is all that is. Sign him and he'll be back to tooling around again planning his next photo shoot. I hate him.

    Yea last moment. I mean the initial correction. Urgency panic action to not watch his hopes ride away too far maybe...

    Why take that bet? He may as well skip the middle man and just give it to the Action Fund now. :D

    This. Dude only picks it up at contract time. I still hope he gets thrown on his ear for George. Though at the rate Rins is going.... Poor bastard. Iannone is a gigantic douche missile but I do like seeing him in the mix when he’s on. The on days seem to only coincide with contract negotiation days though.

    What does Rins have to worry about? He already signed for 2 more years. :confused:
