2018 MOTOGP Season ****SPOILER ALERT*** *****WARNING - SPOILER *******

[Mother Goose]

The thing is Lorenzo has some blame in that he did try to get back on the racing line very fast. I think he did it to stop Dovi from getting back in front of him as this is a corner that has a bit of run off and allows for the rider to maintain some speed. I'm sure he was aware of Pedrosa behind them, just how far back Pedrosa was is something he couldn't calculate. I don't think he expected Pedrosa to be there.

And with that said, I still maintain the incident wouldn't have happened without Dovi involved.

It's a good 90/10 here. 90% Dovi and 10% Lorenzo. Still no way Pedrosa should take any blame. Only way he can say he could have avoided the accident, is to not get out of bed and go racing that day.

I'm not sure how this is Dovi's fault? He went for a pass, went in too hot, Lorenzo also went in too hot and not as wide and then ran straight to the apex where Pedrosa was. Lorenzo could have hit his normal brake marker and made the corner allowing Dovi to blow the corner and both Lorenzo and Pedrosa would have been by Dovi with no problems. Riders go in too hot plenty of times to pass another rider and don't mess up the rider being passed. It happens MANY times during a race. Hell, I've done it a few times trying to get by someone and it didn't make them go off line. So how is it the passing rider's fault that guy being passed went wide? Did he select mapping 8 for him going into the corner?

I've watched the replay a few times and didn't see how it was Dovi's fault at all. Even though I can't stand Lorenzo, if the rolls were reversed, and Dovi was being passed and Lorenzo the passer, it wouldn't have been Lorenzo's (the passer) fault for the accident.
