10 sec penalty for deliberately knocking someone off, they would lose all credibility as a governing body if that was all they did.
You keep saying deliberately knocked off? Deliberately run wide to slow him down. Marc saw red & pressed the issue.
He lost his head. It was a Cantona moment. Dont think he wanted to knock him off, but run him wide and off track to make him shut the throttle long enough to get away. Rossi probably sees himself in marquez and knows he wouod be messing up others titles for a laugh if he was...when he was young. Marquez refused to go wide and leaned on rossi, rossi stuck his knee out to push back, marquez goes down. Notice Marquez didnt remonstrate. Odd. Alas I cant see how he wont be DQ'd. Marquez was being unsporting to start with, and Rossi reacted Lorenzo just picked up the title.
Cal knocked Dovi off in this race too. Miller was knocked off the year he lost the title. Bet they dont get DQ'd. It happens all the time...Rae knocking Halsmal off last turn at Doni?!
It looked like a calculated move by Vale to me. He spent a lot of time looking at MM, and seemed to be weighing up what to do. I think a disqualification is coming.
