BBC Sport - Marc Marquez given penalty point for Dani Pedrosa Aragon clash as much as i dislike marc i find this is very harsh, they have ended up docking honda 25 points, i cant understand this as they were already penalised by dani crashing ???
ahh well could have been worse but seems rather crap you can't try and overtake without the risk of being told off. Just hope MM win's the championship and puts a finger up to Dani
Very harsh. It's almost like they are trying to engineer a race where Marquez has to battle from the back of the grid...
Told you they would! he has only been given a penalty point, so doesnt come off his tally. 1 more penalty point and he starts at the back of the grid.....
No doubt brought about by a bleating Pedrosa, when will he accept he is never going to win the title ? He is a good rider but just lacks that extra champion quality. For many reasons, I expect Marquez will always come under closer scrutiny than other great riders have done in the past. I can't really see how they can justify it based on past incidents. There have been so many dodgy moves by other riders in the past that have not led to penalty points. If he does start from the rear of the grid at some point I reckon he will still get a podium anyway and then he can give an appropriate finger up to them all.
Wud be nice if he wrapped up the championship by auz latest n in process upsetting sum 1 else, that way we can see him being sent to the back of the grid at Valencia n cus he has already wrapped up the title ( in his rookie yr no less ) he wud just go hell for leather n wud be soo funny if he still won the race against the old guard / aliens ( as they r known )
Think the Honda points deduction is for their stupidity in only have one sensor cable (Yams have 2) and leaving it exposed. Pretty dangerous and if I was Pedrosa I'd be pretty p----d off at HRC for that error.
I agree its harsh for him, its a Honda issue he was trying to come past and only touched with his elbow for heaven sake!
But he'd been grinding those elbows for a few laps just to make them nice and sharp for such an opportunity.
I think Lorenzo let him pass him also when he knew he was close behind, probably didn't want a repeat of Jerez. Marquez is a fantastic talent but needs to learn a when to back off for safety's sake, IMO, we dont want another Simoncelli incident.
