No one intends to run wide at chicanes, but the advantage gained is always substantial, and that's why racers piss and moan about it so frequently for both cars and bikes. It's gotten to the point where some sanctioning bodies install chicanes in the runoff areas for the chicanes b/c they want to make sure the rider loses time for dangerously brake-bombing the corner entry.
The corkscrew isn't your typical chicane so the rules are atypically applied. In other words, rider do whatever they want.

In WSBK they were penalising riders cutting chicanes regardless of overtaking. One wheel over the curb and instant penalty. Seemed a bit extreme att.
While at Laguna it turned out to be a relatively minor incident, what if Marquez overcooks it and falls, only to be run over by Rossi with no way to avoid him?
While I must admit I find Marquez highly entertaining, considering what has happened both in motogp in the past and this weekend in WSS I believe race direction has a duty of care to the riders, beyond the 'spirit of the racing', to do all it can to keep them reasonably safe. Or to put it another way, to save them from themselves. Marquez himself probably has no fear, but seeing him racing wheelchairs might not be so entertaining.

Even if they have used all 5 engines, which i dont think they have, that does not mean they are out of engines. If Yamaha does in fact end up starting some races from pit lane, it will be an engineering coup for Honda. Something their marketing dept should take full advantage of.

Don't worry, it won't matter, Marquez is going to run away with the championship while Rossi keeps saying he must go faster and Lorenzo keeps high siding to the moon. Pedrosa permanantly the brides made

He says he needs new pneumatics and the five-wheel hub is outdated. He's waiting for this upgrade before he becomes competitive:

More important than any of this ....;
1). Was there a PS meetup, and what crazy .... went on
2). How good were the umbrella crackers - i would welcome a topic with photos.

They also have to move the up and down control to the other side to ease the load on his shoulder.

What's the deal with Yamaha factory team management? Is wilco the team manager? Just wondering as in the press releases he is credited as 'team manager' but only ever talks about his side of the garage?
