Was Marquez in the wrong?

Did he fark over Pol by cutting him off?

Should Pol have expected Marquez to close the line and realise he didnt have enough room to pull it off without collision?

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.

And stupid summed it up perfectly.

Marquez's helmet didn't move I dont think he saw him, he knew Pol was somewhere close but I think no penalty racing incident is fine, Pol got greedy and paid the price

You gotta admit, that if it was on purpose, that its a top effort to take someone out from the outside and not get caught up in it.

Thats what makes me think Esparagas is more than half at fault.
I think he panicked and braked or something.
He is known to fail under pressure.

So is it racing or dodgem cars?

If your not good enough to hold your own line dont try an take someone elses.

The only way Marqez will beat Pol in the championship is to keep bumping him off track, but as they say, cheaters never prosper..

Pol FTW next round...mucho bettero rider.. :lol:

it was side to side impact, Marqez into Pol who was holding a tight line..

if it was a rear impact Pol into Marqez due to an unsafe overtake by Pol then go marqez ftw and Pol in the wrong..

hoffy if you were racing and you saw the gap you would take it, it would have almost looked like a freeby

It was a racing incident!
HTFU get ready for the next race. If you break a bone or chop the end off your finger, have a little cry but make it quick. NO OTHER TIMES.

So what if u save a crash and not leave the track you have to forfeit postions? He has every right to defend his line, Pol shouldve expected it
