True, but then I can always say to you and those riders who fell. If you want to finish in first, you must first finish. No one cares that those riders fell. It's racing and in racing anything goes. I've seen guys at front walking to victory only to bin it because they got too carried away in their pace. Champions finish races and that's why Marquez clinched the world title over Lorenzo. Lorenzo won 8 and Marquez 6, but Marquez finished with a dizzying consistency on the podium. Sometimes winning the most races doesn't mean winning the championship.
