with hindsight marc should have done whatever jorge did - after all jorge at 39 points behind was the only serious contender for the title, so marc's mistake as he could see jorge leave for the pits.
i am not convinced that honda got their pit board wrong. (pedrosa came in within the rules) marc is eminently marketable right now, they may be covering up his error.
it's also worth noting that pedrosa said at pit time that there were so many flies on his visor that it was practically impossible to read a pit board. it would be the same for the rest of the riders.
having two bikes for the race took away any fuel advantage that the crt bikes have at any other race. not mentioned and not fair.
seeing as several other riders were black flagged the attrition rate was high. the penalty should have been a ride through, not a black flag. shame on the organisers for taking riders away from an already small grid race.
also shame on them for not demoting pedrosa a place. if he gave a place over to marquez (which i don't believe, i think he was passed in a racing situation) then the rider that passed him was disqualified anyway, making the pass null and void i.e. no real penalty applied.
so all in all a bit farcical. i agree with the above, the race points should be cancelled.
