Whatever else you want to say about MM he understands the importance of putting on a show, he could clear off, but he doesn't he mixes it up hard with the fellas. Roberts used to do the same thing in the AMA road races, he would hang out for a few laps "race " with the boys. Then put his knee down and leave, come back around and race with some more even though he had the field a lap down, for the show.
I wish Johnny Rea would figure that out, because his WSBK dominance is stinking up the show in Superbike.
I dunno...that's a pretty bold assumption. MM is no dummy. Why purposefully get wrapped up into a battle like that and risk losing your entire advantage in the championship (Dovi was basically a DNF) just to "put on a show"? Did you see the tail section of Marc's bike?
Managing his tires and timing his attack is not the same as just toying around for the fun of it. If MM (or any other rider) were able to win by 30 seconds, he would do so.
