Seems as if SD isn’t the only person who watched a different race.

What two people did MM run into?

If he was the only one making contact, what happened after the start at turn 1?

Seems Craig watched a different race. MM got a wing torn off when he barged into Miller and touched wheels with Martin. There were a couple other sketch incidents involving him.

Is it possible you two are butt hurt that marqy markquez crashed and therefore you want to trash the whole race and motogp in general? that race weekend was spectacular saturday was a strategy day with everyone jockeying for the chance to pull the pin and no one could get to Viñales no one could match his speed and behind the scenes there was a tire choice war going on. on sunday MM was the only person running into people (twice) and he was the only person who was desperate to pass. everyone else was flowing rhythm like a artistic ballet or whatever waxing poetically on about. Viñales went from 11th to first and the .... that went down inbetween was mind blowing . Its alway the marq marquez guys who want to trash the sport because their guy is not running away from the field like he used to and the bike change didn't pan out the way you said it would. being wrong isn't something some people freely admit to or apologize for but none the less you two were kinda rude about your mm predictions and fluffing.

You are a funny guy
 
anybody who has roadraced a motorcycle has had the pucks go out after a headshake or possibly braking bumps. when you grab the front brake it is a pucker moment and it could cause a crash, usually you'd just run wide and the second pull on the brakes would still feel under control. I don't believe mm bike did this and I doubt that system could do it even with a violent headshake or any bumps. if it did most people who have circulated a race track as much as mm has would be able to deal with it. If that 30k+ front brake on that bike failed (which I doubt), the cause would be a serious source for concern. mm blew it wide and cut back into jack miller . and later lap five he ran into the back of Martin.
 
MM crash was clearly a front tire tuck cause he was trail braking too much and trying to turn at the same time. In the words of Twist of The Wrist, he used up all of his currency. The front brake did not fail.

Watch the replay link I posted - MM doesn’t cut back. He passes Miller into 11, Miller tries to under cut and the tries to push Marc wide at the exit. Marc refuses to run off track so there’s light contact.

You didn’t discuss the pileup at turn 1, why not - who ran into people there?

Discussing these issues is basically a Rorschach test. 😅

Who’s it testing?

Looked 50/50 to me. Racing incident. MM dive bombed and attempted to block pass Miller so Miller turned early up the inside to dodge the Spanish torpedo. Same thing happened with Pecco in Barca
 
Keith Huewen on the OMG! MotoGP podcast mentioned after the race that he thought he saw him lock the brakes moments before braking again and tucking the front.
 
If you watch the replay of the crash, you can see the rear suspension unload due to the front brake being used. He used too much and tucked the front. Blaming Brembo MC for the crash is classless.

I think he did and it looks like miller was a half a bike length ahead when they made contact . I didn't mention the bump between the riders at the first corner because I was referencing the part where people were calling me out for mentioning mm hittiing two people. these are all racing incidents imo but mm seems to be a pinball most races. I was actually pulling for marq at the racetrack I always have a part of me that wants him to succeed. watching him a cota do so good at the sprint seeing him at the stage was all good stuff. i just call balls and strikes. probably should not have speculated on the brakes thing armchair quarterbacking is dumb. and the thing he said happened could actually happen it's just the equipment he's using it's hard to believe .
 
Schwantz was talking about Viñales clutch lever that swiches to a brake lever . The rider chooses via a cable-operated switch whether the left hand lever operates the clutch or the rear brake. Clutch is only used for the start ? imagine if that system failed. or the rider forgot to switch LOL
