    yeah i completely disagree

    he was left of the line they were looking at as they screamed in. he dragged right onto their line

    to them coming in, he was having difficulty & had drifted wide allowing them to jump him for his place

    the eaisest thing in the world to do on a bike is lift & drift off-line - but to do that they would have had to recognise that he was about to drag right across the track

    they are not paid to back off - their careers are based on successfull bullying on-track (especially rossi)

    my point (getting lost i think) was that they could have avoided him by lifting instead of going tighter whilst keeping it nailed

    Badsight, you have never ridden a bike on the limit on a track.
    That is obvious from your coments.
    If they had "drifted" (!) then it woudl have been TOWARDS the incoming bike.

    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    lol, whats to leave

    theres what happened in the crash, then theres your revision of it

    i am merely pointing out they would have avoided him by lifting from their line

    the impact happened by their staying on their line & keeping the throttle nailed

    how were they to know he was about to drift back across the track ?

    leave what ? OK how about some respect for the memory

    I will leave it with Gardners words.
