after the 'picking' on Marco at Le Mans what next, penalties for having the wrong colour scheme?
Motor sport is a bit farcical at the moment. Racers should be allowed to race. Saw all this race, there was room for Zarko to pass. He got through without contact, both on the grass at the end of rumble strip.
Result should have stood instead of race control interference.
Eh!!! He straightened up on the finish....then steered left putting Tirol on the grass!Justice done.
Did you actually see it??
Zarko moved over to his left which was clear to see from the rear camera view from the side of the track. He also used his elbow and to me what he did was dangerous and not racing. If he had moved to his right then it would have been fine but I think he believed he would have lost a bit of speed so that's why he did what he did. If Tirol had gone down it would have been very very nasty and I think Zarko would have been getting more than a 20 second penalty to carry over to the next race!
Zarco's fault.
If he'd been riding something with some power he could have made it look like he needed all the track. Being that he was on a 125 he couldn't do this and just steered into Terol instead.
Toby Moody's getting on my nerves with all this cycling,hillclimbing,Paris Hilton asskissing, F1, lost the front, twittertalk

Its not ballroom dancing.

It's going to be much safer soon at this rate.
The man with the red flag will wave it and walk in front for the entire race. No passing allowed.
🙂
Yeah you've got a point he did'nt "want it" enough....you would have kept it pinned at 120mph on the grass would'nt you 🙄
I agree with you Rorshach - it was a disgraceful manoeuvre and I couldn't believe my eyes as I watched it live. Justice done I think.
For those who haven't seen it, this is the incident, filmed on the trackside board unfortunately. Doesn't look quite as bad from this angle but is shouldering someone onto the grass a legitimate racing technique nowadays? Incident is from 50secs in.
he pushed and was stupid, he was penalized and deserved to be, in my opinion
Nah that's not on. Fair punishment.
