I like this track as it's a bit less flat chat and fairly interesting, along with being quite undulating too.

I agree - I much prefer the more technical compared to the wide flat out.

I've mellowed to MM, but it's disgusting that he didn't go to see how Zarco was. Tosser.

Yes, I thought that as well. So totally focused on getting back for his spare bike that he couldn't spare a couple of seconds to check on someone he'd just wiped out.

Agreed. The crash was a freak of circuit design more than anything else but the least he could have done is go check if zarco was okay.

I've tried to see a video in a report but can't, but all I've read is he's blaming Zarco?

There were three minutes left! What's the point in rushing for the spare bike?

Regardless, I'm disappointed by his behaviour.

Has been blaming Zarco for the incident, quite unbelievably, even suggesting he shouldn't have been in the way etc.

Just seen it.
6 of one, half a dozen of the other.

Zarco was entering a live environment. He should only do so when safe.
If MM has skittled him in a race, he'd be at fault.
This was just bad luck.

I just don't understand why he's blaming Zarco. Zarco WAS entering safely. If Marquez hadn't binned his bike, all would have been well, no?? Or am I missing something? (Quite possible!!)

MM in a race.

Zarco saw bikes approaching at 200 MPH. He should have checked.

But surely even if Zarco had checked, it should have been ok - if MM hadn't thrown his bike down the track?
