What are your thoughts?

He was penalised with a 1min time penalty hen it was withdrawn after appeal.

I won't say hat I think ATM as I wanna hear honest, objective opinions

Watch here for refresher

Yes he is in the wrong, he almost binned it, then jammed it into the side of Pol, dramatically altering his line, because he couldnt handle being overtaken by the faster rider..

And Wattie, Marqez is fuking gay :lol:

Points on the board ... Marquez wins ..

"Racing incident" imo ..

Agree with hoffy, i guess it doesn't pay to be gentlemen in racing.

Not sure what hurts more watching F1 or the three finger prostate check up.

No,

Hes trying to get back on line.

Racing incident.

And if Pol was so fast, he wouldnt have been struggling to keep up with the front three. :roll:

Unlucky i say.

Struggling to keep up :lol:

He was leading the championship at that point and it is not uncommon for riders to sit directly behind the leaders in Moto2 until the final laps.. :lol:

He was no where near close enough to make the pass stick anyway, even in Marquez didnt ride defensively and cover his line.
If Pol didnt loose his shit, balling his eyes out, stewards wouldnt have even bothered. sook. You cant just ride around at the back of the pack and wait for a Bradbury.

We should be praising Marquez for his awesome save :kuda:

i recon he was he is a bloody top rider but he is a arrongant and aggressive rider. how he cuts in in front of people when he over takes and a couple of meets ago when he punted off luthie. It look very much like turned in front of him, the thing you have to wonder is if it wasn't in spain would the race control out come have been diffrent sencing maybe some home track favourtism??? thats my opion probably wrong but putting it out there 8)

Racing incident, as there was no intent in his actions. He lost it. He saved it. That put him a bit off line, so he heads back online. No intent. Better man comes out in front......... Next round please :lol:

This was a racing incident as when he pulled back on line he was in front of Pol, problem was Pol had more momentum. I think this might have been a square up from a previous unmentioned race meeting and then someone realised they would look like a twat if they followed through with the penalty or has been suggested, maybe being in Spain on Repsol backed bike someone got a free lunch
