Him or Shakey, he's bagged me the 5 points for pole, 90 more from the pair will do nicely ;-) Lowes on a roll Shakey just cannot break, he MUST win this weekend or Lowes will be well on his way to the big cup
I think that's fair tbh i realise it was a racing incident and there's no way he would of done anything like that on purpose but lets face it, if it came to the last race and he'd won the title from Shakey based on the points gained by knocking him off it'd sure take the shine off it as everybody would be banging on about it. hes still +1 and that's been done by some of the best racing I've watched all year, much more entertaining than Motogp that's for sure. if you'd have asked lowes before the races if he'd take leaving the round being top of the pile he'd of snapped your arm off. cant wait for the next installment
Proper order He had nowhere to go and you could see by Shakeys line going in where he hwas headed. Stoopid idiot move by Lowes imo. Great racing, Elisson struggling with a a dated and very large R1 when you see what else he is up against. He done well.
I think that's a harsh decision against Lowes, looks like Byrne moves across him to me. The crash is at about 1 min in...
Dont agree...Byrne was already commanding the line into and on the corner imo. Lowes just barged in, nowhere for him to go, except into Byrne.
Erm whats wrong with moving acroos? He is in front, knows the guy is quick thru there and blocks his line. That my friend is the essence of racing; maximise your advantage and minimise your opponents Lowes fault, end of. He thought there was a gap, there wasn't, and thought he could make one, he couldn't. And been scanning the BSB account on YT for when they post the on boards up so thanks for posting
I love these vids and been watching them all year but cant help thinking the quality is not the best advert, mixed lighting and its all over the place for exposure
yes, but.... at the point of impact Lowes has got his front wheel alongside Byrne..... so to my eyes he's not behind, or doesn't it work like that
No it doesn't work like that. Unless his wheel is in front its not his corner. He can make it his, which he did, but that tends to be slower corners where lifting someone up doesn't punt them into the scenery at 130 and they have time to react. Tbh this smacks of lowes of 4 years ago, not this year. I really like Lowes and am divided as to him or Shakey, neither would be bad in my view, but seemed an overly aggressive move which was likely to end like that but heat of moment, decision made, thats racing
Have a look at it again from the front, Alex cuts the curb (nothing wrong with that) but is off track and goes straight in to the side of Byrne, Racing incident possibly but VERY unnecessary and dangerous, just because he was able to do it in the first race (there was loads of room) Byrne was wise to it and left no room. Quality a bit naff Look at 32 seconds he hits him behind his leg on the swing arm (not in front)
