What a great weekend of racing !Superbikes and the GP.

Wonder who is going to get the sack from Honda.

Marc would have seen that rider pull into the pits, so why didn't he on the next lap ???

He F'd up.

Hi All,

You have to remember young Marc is probably more used to counting in $1,000,000 so not stopping at 10 would be quite a simple mistake for him. You would have hoped that the team discussed this prior to the start of the race and decided on a plan that didn't include a black flag.

I expect Marc will be great the rest of the year, should be a hoot to watch.

Best regards

Surly

Ok. WTF happened? Someone post video. I didn't record it and I was sleeping.

Race officials reduced the race to 19 laps with a mandatory bike swap at no longer than 10 laps. Simple math says pit / swap bikes on lap 9 or 10...Marquez and his Honda went past the pit entrance at lap 10 and didn't pit until lap 11. Result -- black flag and DNF, no points.

The real truth.

You missed a cracker of a race.

Holy crap on a cracker...I just watched it (finally!) and I couldn't believe what happened!

The coverage on MotoGP.com says that Marquez's team though they could pit by the end of 11, rather than 10....

I'll admit, I wish they would run ALL the races this way, made for a hell of a spectacle for the fans...it was easily the most exciting race of the season.

Black flag though? I thought that was a bit harsh. I was expecting Marquez to have to do a ride through or something. Oh well makes for an interesting last two races.
