Press conference was pure gold.....

Excerpt from Lorenzo's comments (he's really good at playing the straight man with no facial expression or tone revealing the sarcasm):

For me one point on the licence is unfair. For me the right thing is to put one point more in the championship, because like this the other riders in Moto3 and Moto2 can take example from this riding style and they can do the same.

We can have a better show in our sport because the safety of the riders doesn't matter so much, the important thing is the spectators enjoy the show.

The Jerez action was a great show, looking at the marshals [scattering] like chickens in Silverstone was a great show. In Laguna Seca he overtook Valentino outside of the track, it was a great show. So they should provide an incentive for these types of actions.

It did appear to get Marquez's attention, but I think it will only harden his resolve to crush Lorenzo on the track.

Just saw the complete press release, they also tagged Cortese for 1 point for his contact with DeAngelis, which resulted in DeAngelis crashing.

I think they're trying to make a point that a little bump and grind is OK, but knocking someone down is not.
I agree with that.

Marc didn't knock Dani down.

The bullshit setup that HRC had with the TC did. ;)

Agreed, absolutely.

His prior 'bad acts' are getting lumped in with this, to try to get him to be a bit more careful.

And I think they're trying to draw a clear line in the sand for all, especially Moto2 and Moto3.

Are they going back to Moto 2?

I've watched every race this year. The kid hasn't done much...other than be waaay faster...and definitely closer to the limit...

to warrant any sanctions. He isn't the loose cannon we all thought he'd be.

He is one of the few real 'racers' out there.
Dorna, the FIM, and all the other political entities involved should be careful what they wish for.

The Eurosport commentators mentioned during the FP2 broadcast that while they understood the reasoning for the point against Marquez that it almost seemed that race direction trying to compensate for the really weak penalty of only 2 points for Marquez' transgression at Silverstone where he very well could have killed people by being past the limit under yellow flag conditions. The thing with Dani was a fluke that couldn't be reproduced if you tried to make it happen, and wasn't worthy of a sanction.

I think I agree with that assessment.

They need to develop some consistency and apply it to everyone in all classes.

It seems many people are still bitter about 2006.

well, to me, not that I am bitter, but that was pretty flagrant disregard and a clear sign that the show was more important than safety....
