I disagreed as, especially when he was battling with Rea, he gives zero room and always pushes wide where he can. He cuts off noses and has a like of either you give or crash mentality. All depends on your viewport: imho racing includes taking every advantage and that may mean pushing someone aside. But his passes some call class and Irwin’s desperate when technically it’s exactly the same.
Are people really suggesting Irwin shouldn’t have ridden as hard as possible for the win?! Get a grip: firstly he’s on a win bonus and secondly if you had no skin in the game but one of your competitors you like the least has a chance to win you’re going to do what you can (within the rules) to piss them off.
If he was doing it for the win, then fair enough, but he said he did it to disrupt Tommy, seeing as Tommy had his brother as team mate (so he decided to be Kyles ‘unofficial' team mate). I personally think that’s a dog$hit attitude to have, to fcuk someone elses race and season up that way. Your PoV may well (and seems to) differ - and of course that’s your view.
I agree the same way as I believe Marquez cost Rossi his final title with his general fuckery. But also same as Marquez if someone pissed you off that much you do what you find funny. It’s shithousery of the highest order and terrible sportsmanship
I don’t think anyone has, they are saying that his moves were well over the line. Look at the link: https://x.com/OfficialBSB/status/18...wells-one-fingered-salute-rival-caught-camera he literally rides sideways into Tommy at 190mph, he didn’t move across like that on his brother, he just rides too far over the line in his moves. Watch Tommy and Kyle, probably 20 overtakes and not one of them was dirty. Good hard racing
Tbf there is one pass where tommy does the same and Ryde is lucky to stay on. It’s a thumbnail on a few bsb vids. But I only saw the last 5 laps
