Zarco should have been disqualified from the results, Lowes was on for a podium finish and Zarco took him out. Sams brother Alex received a DQ for taking down Shane Byrne in BSB a few years back.

DQed for a non malicious, not overly ambitious racing incident by a guy who doesn't have a history of dangerous racing? Then they need to DQ all of Moto3, half of Moto2, and every rider that in MotoGP that has ever inadvertently crashed out another rider in an execution of human error. Cal Crutchlow should have been suspended after the first three races as an ongoing menace to the grid, a ticking time bomb, ready to explode on some unsuspecting fellow competitor, not the least being himself.
If you live in a glass house, don't throw rocks.
If you make contact with the other rider you are trying to overtake and that contact takes them down, then yes it is overly ambitious as you've gone in way too fast.
Let me put it this way if I was a racer and you took me down while trying to overtake(malicious or otherwise) not only would I be seeking a DQ, I'd be placing my fist in your face.
But the precedent had already been made last year when a totally malicious attack was used to take another rider out.

The North!
Shiverstone was a blast, But after returning I have been working away from home came back straight to Oulton for yesterday, ps got you an ace pic of Haslam, you still on the same email? it's from the camera not the phone.
Yeah I know I shout for all the brits week in week out, I can't help it, But I don't follow any one rider. I find I enjoy the racing much more, and it's less heartache should we lose another, god forbid. You know my record of riders I have followed that are no more,
The black and white curbs are for this season, it is something to do with some anniversary that Shiverstone is celebrating.
I asked Shove for a private word exactly for the reason you said, he has insider info also is good friends with one person tends to both helmets from both riders so was hoping to hear his take too, This would not be fair on that particular person if his words were plastered here without his knowledge.
Anyway I got Sams take yesterday in confidence from his personal press organiser, We were invited to Oulton to meet and talk business about the photography side of our business and them using our photos etc, I can feel those media jackets getting closer buddy
.BTW they do the press for Hickman too so was in the JG Speedfit Kawasaki garage after warm up. Told Haslam you loved him:giggle:
Back on the road tomorrow, See ya next week, or wassap me hahaha it's fcuking spreading, must be contagious hahaha

And here I was thinking it was Stoner who liked to use the fist
