Absolutely. Same thing is going on in BSB, with Haslam being penalised the other month for punting Sykes off braking into a corner. Racing incident, agreed by both riders. Then, a week ago, Sykes did a similar thing to Haslam. No malice, they're good mates off the track - this is generally true in bike racing, much more so than car racing. Again, a penalty from race direction. Maybe having penalised one, they felt compelled to penalise the other. It's all bollox]consider[/i] giving a penalty.Gerry H wrote:It seems to be becoming an extension of the 'Nanny State'...
It's supposed to be racing at the highest level with drivers of the highest ability. Why don't they just let them get on with it ffs.
