nobody is saying the kid is not a super special rider, i just wish his perception wasn't super special as well.
What would have happened if Dominique Aegerter had crahsed when MM hit him?
I honestly thought he was going to get some kinda penalty, ride through, 10secs added on to his time, but i guess because Aegerter stayed on nothing was said.

eh, they just touched, its not like Marquez tried to kick him off the bike or something. Guy goes from 33 place to win the race and you guys think he should be disqualified because one of his passes wasn't perfectly clean...
Doesn't matter how good the guy is, if he doesn't respect other riders and the right to race in relative safety then he needs to be sanctioned. He has clearly shown that he has no respect for other riders. I think that it is born out of the silver spoon he has in his mouth. He believes that he deserves it all, above all others and that everyone must make way for him. Repeated soft treatment by race direction has further created this mindset. I look forward to him being punted off as a lesson by the MotoGP guys. It will be a lesson that should have been given by race direction but will now have to be delivered vigilante style on the track which will probably see him injured as a result.

i surely hope this does not happen, a bit of close racing and BOOM! there goes another riders career. if he injures edwards/hayden or one of the other loved ones he will officially become part of my axis of evil.
Didn't see it in context, perhaps a somewhat hard pass in the conditions.
It was at least in a race though, some of the practice incidents are harder to excuse.

The North!
Don't think anyone lauded stoner's pass, but it was in the dry and not the hardest pass in the race.
Didn't watch the moto2 race (unfortunately, sounds like I really missed something) so don't know the conditions, but marquez doesn't go last to first without passing a few people, and is obviously seriously good.
Don't understand some of the practice incidents, particularly the willarot one on the cool down lap, and the torpedo a few races back.
My point was that why is mm's pass being singled out when Pol's crash was worse. I don't have an issue with race day passes going wrong and sometimes being a little ambitious. Friday afternoon was a lot different and isn't the time to be so aggressive in close quarters with others so I understand and have no issue with the penalty.

Just got around to watch race. I noticed Marc started from the back, oh i prob know, he took an extra engine or something right? Ah, what was the penalty for, doesnt Race Direction have extra engines to give out to Spaniards? Anyway, regarding race, Nice torpedo by Elena Rosell. Other than that it looks like everybody else rode prudently....not. .... all u guys defending Marc. Dude not only tried to murder peeps in practice, but its obvious he had no intention of toning it down in race. Three aggressive hard moves, one contact, which by luck other dude didnt go down. Its not like this is a one off, its his MO. Race Direction does not exist, i've accept it, but the fools giving him a pass, especially the "expert" media, not just Kropo, all of them not taking his riding to task, thats the scandal! I can count at least 4-5 guys that could have had their careers ended (including Marc) because of his .... moves. But nobody of any influence is calling it out. Not even the commentators, who downplayed his practice antics as saying," love him or hate him..." and "well u might not like a move here and there". Wtf?! Uhm, thats like saying to an attempted murderer, 'well, u might not like that this dude who just tried to kill u but...love him or hate him, u have to admire his talent.' Really? Only in sport does talent ..... sanity. Well .... ALL YOU PUTOS!
(Btw, Espargorum's move was .... too. But hey, if nobody cares, go ahead, torpedos and bombs away).

Just as a thought... does no one actually remember being 18-19 years old? I do and I can tell you that in all the whacked out .... I did back then injuring myself or others never really blipped on my radar. In my raging hormonal youth I was invincible and .... you and your mom up the ... if you got in my way. Can hardly blame Marc for being an alpha male, it is RD that must set the tone.

Youth recklessness or unprofessional sportsmanship.
I reckon he'll come around and wisen up, as you say he's a young whippersnapper but he's got a racers brain.
I believe we are witnessing the blossoming of a legend, and you never know we might have a new holeshot king, he can't kill anybody from out front, can he?
