Re the crutchlow -miller incident, why was crutchlow ( far more experienced, higher spec bike) anywhere near miller.

They were both going well, it was wet which is a great leveller.

Although Miller was no where near until they touched, it was a lunge from bloody miles away!!

Crutchlow was 4th at the time. Hardly his fault being so far up.

Surprising result. I had Rossi pegged as a third or fourth, as he doesn't really like Silverstone. A win at a track that he doesn't like will hopefully boost his confidence,

However, I predict that he will loos his title race within two rounds frown

I see that Cal has signed for LCR again. I was expecting him to go off to WSB

Is the change of sponsor for Cal due to a certain original sponsor having financial dealings with the Police?

I thought Miller left the braking way too late and just thought "eff it" and went for a lunge. Had he not done that, I reckon he probably would have been on the podium the way he was coming through the pack. Promising for the future.

Also this wasn't the first corner , miller had battled his way thru the pack to catch up with crutchlow.

Some harsh lunges yes but up to that point they'd all worked out and he'd gone from 16th to 5th.

true, but its where you finish. Taking your team mate out who would have been battling for a podium finish in that manner. It really was a hospital pass.

Just watching the replay again of Millers crash

Yes he seems to come from a long way back but I don't think that was the reason, I don't think it was that much of a long way back braking disaster if you look at Espargaro behind who maintained the gap he had prior to braking behind Miller into the corner. Lorenzo slowed Crutchlow up and I think Miller probably just let the brakes off to go for the same gap and it closed, he braked and down he went.

I don't think he was ever making that corner. Even if crutchlow wasn't there. Now I'm just an armchair fan. I don't know what it's like to do stuff like this, hence why I rarely comment on race threads but that's just shocking. Imo

Espargaro is with him all the way into the corner. The gap between them doesn't increase or decrease. Which is why I think he created the accident at the corner going for a closing gap which many people have done many times before.

You can't defend that, sorry you just cant.

eek

I remember seeing chunks of rubber fly off and wondered how he stayed on. Seeing that... unreal.
