Absolutely bizarre race.
- What was Dani's infraction and did he do what he was supposed to? If it was a safety issue of crossing a white line on exit of the pits or a pit lane speed issue, surely the penalty should have been a ride through or 10s penalty?
- Marc looked back twice on his way out of the pits. He absolutely knew that he'd be arriving in turn one at exactly the same time as the other two. He then pulled as far across the race track as he dared. IMHO this is genuinely dangerous and should get at least one penalty point. The fact that Lorenzo missed his braking a fraction and was a little further across the track as well doesn't excuse this.
If I was in the Yamaha garage, I'd be protesting both issues.
Of course, removing Dani from the results and forcing Marc to start from the back of the grid would also play into Dorna's hands of punishing Honda and increasing the entertainment, but that's beside the point. It should be about safety. In my view, the whole TC sensor debacle was ridiculous and overplayed. Honda shouldn't have been docked the points and Marc shouldn't have been given his penalty point because that was all about racing. But today's actions were genuinely dangerous behaviour.
Maybe!
I guess that's probably the end of that one then. I suspect that it's probably the last we'll hear from Race direction about the Marquez-Lorenzo touch as well.
