MotoGP Race Direction is a Joke - SPOILER

[Eddie]

Where the hell where they when Lorenzo pushed Pedroza out the track yesterday?

And Lorenzo, apologizing to Pedroza after the race? What a frickin gentleman.

They tried everything to let the championship go to the wire: they disqualified Marquez from one race, gave him points for going too fast on the Pit lane and one point for touching Pedrosa on the outside....on the outside damn'it.

On another note, I just love how Pedrosa made Lorenzo's life miserable for the first half of the race.


Anyhow...Kudos to Marquez!!

who cares if he gets penalized. dont the points get reset every season? it was a do-or-die situation where he had to get points over MM.

but yes, he complained about getting hit in similar situations. during the season

yeah but if you watch Pedro gets into a little tank slapper and really Lorenzo had two choice: rear end him or stick it to the inside. I think he made the right decision.

and it wasn't so much that Pedrosa made Lorenzo's life hell. Lorenzo held back and tried to keep the pack bunched up so he fellow Yamaha riders could get between him and the Hondas. The strategy still didn't work because Crutchlow crashed out, Smith isn't fast enough on his best day and Rossi could only match the front 3s slowed pace. Once Lorenzo knew he wasn't gonna have any help he cleared off.

So, did they penalize Lorenzo or not? They said the incident would be investigated post-race.

Really? No shit it did not make a difference. As a matter of principle he should have been penalized. Just saying Lorenzo and race direction acted like hypocrites at the end of the season.

I agree to disagree there Brett.

Fact is Marquez was far from riding at his limit. As you already pointed out big fail for Yamaha.
