End of race 2...WOW Shocked

Best racing I've seen so far this year.

Couldn't help but give out a cheer when Haslam and Mellandri went down! Laughing

Melandri crashed into the side of Haslam did he? was this in the 3rd race that you only seen. because if your talking about race 2 then i think you'll find Melandri did indeed try an overtake from too far back but he didn't crash into Haslam, Rae barged his way through Haslam!
Track rule is that the rider behind has to make a safe overtake, Rae didn't he's the one at fault and IMO is no worse than Schumacher who ran Damon Hill off track all those years ago.

When I say Melandri fucked him over it was because on the final corner of the 2nd race he pulled a ludicrous manouver that basically left haslam sitting up to check his line resulting in Rae taking advantage of the situtation and unfortunately bringing haslam down eventually taking melandri with him...

however u look at it, u gotta feel sorry for haslam as he should of been on podium, im not a big fan of melandris moves myself, its good for the race action but it wasnt much of a team move for bmw was it lol...

Try again and get it right this time.

Melandri made an attempt from too far back, he ran wide but didn't cause anyone to crash.
Haslam would still have finished 1st but Rae tried to take advantage of it and tried to squeeze through a space that didn't exist, the result was he ran into the side of Haslam and brought down 2 riders.
He's a disgrace and the race officials should have penalised him for it.

well were both agreeing about the outcome, haslam getting cheated out of a podium, only difference is ur accusing rae of cheating where as alot of the pros said the gap was there an theyd of taken the chance, thats what racing is about..

melandri made it all open up tho fella as u clearly see haslam sit up as melandri goes wide which leaves the gap there for rae to take advantage.. ur prob right in that rae may well have tried to squeeze through on haslam regardless but melandri running wide definately made it worse..

The gap wasn't really there, I guess it was just a racing incident but Rea did benefit massively from his mistake.
The British eurosport commentary was incredibly biased with them saying that Melandri caused the incident by running wide Confused
He made a mistake but I don't see how they think he caused Rea to crash into Haslam and in turn bowl both the BMW's down.

No, your saying it was Melandri's fault and I'm saying it wasn't.
How Rae or anyone else for that matter could stand on the podium after basically cheating is beyond me, clearly he has no shame.
