Popular opinion doesn't mean much to me, like most of your posts. But by all means, continue to line up. Oh and trying to pad your post, using the stellar insight that we who post on forums think we are right, ah, breathtaking. No .... Sherlock. Check your post again dude, you are employing the same claim. That’s how these things work, we state our opinions, and then some chime in support, while others disagree.
Your point about Pedro not being flustered, hahaha, naive to the Nth degree. Dude, I know we marvel at all these guys, but get ....... real. I know we kid that Pedrobot is a robot, but he is actually human. You are a fool if you think he wasn't affected. In fact, since you are taking so much stock in Hector's prepared and prescribed press release (thanks MickD) take a look at Pedros comments (more like angry outburst, a rare thing for Pedro indeed, haha) regarding the moments leading up to his start from the back of the grid. Does that sound like an unemotional person? You might want to consider the corner you’ve painted yourself into, either Pedro was so fluster that he didn’t remember the protocol (understandable), or he was making a contrived statement, you know, those statements you take total stock in. You remind me of the scene from the movie My Cousin Vinny, you being the ..... on the stand, while the lawyer makes fun of his inconsistencies, telling him perhaps the laws of physics cease to exist in the man's kitchen, and perhaps the beans he got were magic beans from Jack and the Beanstalk. Maybe you actually believe Pedro is an "alien". But newsflash, he is human. And he was flustered by all the .... that went down at the start of the race (not to mention, his opinion about the protocol, was completely wrong, why would that be&hellip
. And I honestly wouldn’t blame Pedro for being a bit out of his mind, jeez, he had to deal with a false start, his tire warmer getting stuck, gets wheeled off the grid, then squires back, thinks there is an electronic glitch on his bike, perhaps having to frantically firgure out the problem (which was actually a switch, pit lane limiter, that had been activated correctly by a mechanic) and then is halted unceremoniously at the back of the grid with no time to explain, that is a lot to take in dude. But I'm suppose to "trust you" that you are right, and his state of mind was not affected, right? Uhm, yeah, ok Jack.
Anyway, I dislike the description of these crashes as mere "racing incidents", because they usually absolve any blame where there usually is some, these things don't happen magically (Jack). This incident could be describe as a racing incident at face value, most all contacts are in fact; but when you couple Pedro’s state of mind (yeah, I know you disagree, Jack) and his desperation to make up positions, forcing himself into space that may or may not exist, surely forcing other riders to sit up, react, yield, (ref the incident he talked .... he had with Sic, where he decidedly ran into the back of him, did Pedro think it was Pedro's fault?...) then you have what you had at Misano. It should be fairly evident that Hector's statement was PR damage control; he wasn't going to win an argument where he might place the blame on Pedro. Pedro was in desperate mode, and his passing was aggressive and forced, and this simply caused another rider not have enough time to react. Probably Hector thinks he could have done more to avoid Pedro, and his initial reaction may have displayed this, but seeing the reply, it really does look like Hector did all he could. Look, do this, eliminated Pedro from this equation in your minds eye, and Hector makes that turn without incident, put Pedro back into the equation and we end up with a crash. My conclusion, Pedro’s fault.
