    MM might not make it out of there alive tonight.

    How do you punish that? Pitlane start, or grid penalty just invites more of the same. Sock full of quarters?

    Mav seemed pretty damn happy. Good to see.

    Off to a shitty start. Down a couple potential championship frontrunners right out of the gate. Hope they all heal quick and fully.

    MM Double long lap penalty for Argentina, should be for the next two races (Double long lap for each incident), but I doubt he will learn!

    Dave Wolfe I know nuttin!

    See? Thats even more reason Rossi is the GOAT. When in his sunset years on a slow bike, he didnt injure and maim half of his competitors....

    This new gen of racers are so lovey dovey, grabbing butt and hugging. In the old days, MM would have been taken out back and beaten to within an inch of his life.

    I knew what you were saying. But it was funny that you were saying that in defense of the guy who squandered a solid championship early lead last year, and who this year has to climb out of an early hole making his odds of winning worse than last year. :D
    They should at a minimum use the opportunity to suspend him for one race since he's wearing a cast anyway. Even if it doesn't change anything, it will be good for optics.

    Anyone touch Gibernau at Barcelona in '06? Who beat up Doohan in England in '93? What era are you talking about? The 60s?

    I'm not talking about one offs. I'm talking about a guy who has throughout his entire career not cared about his fellow competitors and has consistently and relentlessly done dumb ass shit which hurts other people and causes damage to other teams' budgets. The boy aint right in the head.

    ....and the worst part is that Beastie and Ollie were 100% innocent in their crashes....Sucks being taken out and getting injured and the 'at fault' riders walk away and they're just stuck saying 'oops, my bad.'.

    Marquez is such a shitbag. 3 incidents in the first lap. He should have to sit out a race.

    That was my opinion until Aleix said it. I can't agree with such a hypocritical hothead. I take it back. :D

    Passing rider responsibility and all aside it sure seemed like the winner(Hallgada)sp? Rolled off early and was going quite slow at that point. Didn’t help Joel Kelso was removing a tear off either. Scary stuff regardless between the speed differential and nobody expecting contact after the checkered flag.

    2 long lap penalty for MM is trivial. Moving him backwards only encourages more desperate riding. He has a lifetime of knocking people down and barging past. Enough. Give him a final warning, then ban him.

    Cheers,

    Dave
