I can’t find a good clip of that pass, but part of it’s in here.

Not a bad angle to see Zarcos move around Mav during the race coverage, but it was quick!

Interviews with Jackass, Rossi, Zarco and MM showed how good a time they had rubbing fairings and touching tyres on leathers. Jack was reportedly beaming when he said it was like Moto 3. Rossi said the aggression was part of it and if you dont like it then stay home. They had a ball.

Good thing You'reghey wasn't involved.

He'd be on his way to the safety commission. [roll]

Rossi was not super happy about it either...

I dunno...he seemed OK in the post race press conference in OZ, and the pre race in Malaysia.

Rossi was joking about it, I thought. He said you have to be "more stupid than them to race them" and I took it that he was horsing around and was referring to himself. The only rider he has recently found questionable was Zarco iirc, but Rossi appeared to be accepting of and relishing the " youthful aggression" as he put it and he gave it straight back to them. Rossi really enjoyed himself and was very enthusiastic on the podium. The guy loves his work.

Gotta say, Iannone copped some of his own medicine when he got pregnant dog slapped out of contention.

Jack had a ball and did well until his leg tired. At one stage the two riders with busted legs were leading.

All of the riders in the pre race conference said that the layout at PI lent itself to more contact. They also said that none of the contact was particularly dangerous.

I don't think they'll tolerate it if it's out of control. I don't think race direction will either.

Yeah, it's a really flowing track with alot of momentum from one corner to another with plenty of room in places for move and counter move. The tight spots are Honda and MG corners but there's acres of room otherwise and it's easy to lose your way by losing your reference points. I've only raced there once and found it both exciting and terrifying.

The past few years PI has been the "it" race.

Yeah its a real riders track and was the fastest track until recently. Mugello and Catalanya have longer straights but the Island has very fast corners like Stoner Corner which is really a straight with a bend in it.
