Member Contributer Switchblade Posted January 28, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted January 28, 2016 I guess that's why they(MotoGP officials) would not let Honda release the Honda telemetry .

Member Contributer CornerCarver Posted January 29, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted January 29, 2016 Of course it would require a contortionist to look intently at MM93 while slowing your speed and running him to the edge of the track to then look back ahead while simultaneously kicking the minuscule portion of the front brake lever that is not covered by the guard so obviously VR46 did not kick the brake lever. He did "kick" or "push" Marquez away as they made contact and the impact of Vale on Marc's forearm caused the spike in brake pressure that HRC noted and the resultant front wheel lock and down on your ear. I like both racers and respect what they have accomplished but I cannot imagine what VR was thinking in taking them off the racing line. I would have an issue with anyone who did that. Flame away.

Hardly anyone still believes it, though, having now seen the video angles now available... Honda declined to release the telemetry (after promising journalists they were going to) because they realised it would prove nothing (or would prove that Marc caused his own crash, perhaps). Dorna's action happened much later, after Honda had already decided not to release the data. Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer JZH Posted January 31, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted January 31, 2016 Immediately after the Sepang race, HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) Vice President Shuhei Nakamoto said: "The data acquisition from Marc’s bike is available if anybody from Dorna, the FIM or media want to check." But, on 5 November... Honda had planned a press conference at Valencia to show the data from Marquez's bike at Sepang, which it said proved a 'kick' from Rossi was the direct cause of the crash. It called the briefing off because it did not want to be seen to be influencing the Court of Arbitration for Sport's verdict on Rossi's appeal. "We cancelled the press conference to show the data because they didn't want to get inside the decision of the CAS and show any influence," said Marquez. The Dorna announcement last week simply confirmed Honda's decision from November. Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Announcing a further postponement of Marquez’s telemetry, Honda Racing Corporation (HRC) team principal Livio Suppo said in quotes which appeared on crash.net: I’m sorry, also this time we don’t make you happy.

"FIM President Vito Ippolito has confirmed in a statement that the onboard data from Marc Marquez’s Repsol Honda at the time of his clash with Valentino Rossi at Sepang will not be released publically.

For that reason, we asked all the people involved, including the teams, to refrain from engaging in controversy about what happened in Sepang. “ Honda top boss Shuhei Nakamoto claimed at the time that the data showed a deliberate impact on Marquez’s brake lever by Rossi, something denied by the Italian. “The data from Marc’s bike shows that even though he was picking up the bike trying to avoid contact with Valentino, his front brake lever suddenly received an impact that locked the front tyre, which is the reason for his crash.

Member Contributer Rush2112 Posted January 31, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted January 31, 2016 A spike in brake line pressure telemetry data does prove intent, "...data showed a deliberate impact on Marquez’s brake lever..." This statement is speculation; Marquez could have pulled his own lever trying to brake, or Rossi's action could have caused Marquez to pull on his brake, or Rossi could have somehow used his mad Ninja skills to slip past the brake guard and hit the lever, or a combination of all these and others led to the spike in brake line pressure... When I was watching the race the first thing I thought was he kicked his brake... now I think Marquez was preparing to brake and dive back underneath Vale... and Rossi, seeing this in Marc's eyes, was pushing off to to initiate his direction change to prevent the sneaky pass when all he was trying to do was have a word with him... Rossi inadvertently pushed on Marc's forearm and bar, which surprisingly, when he looked back to see Marquez on the ground... Vale thought, well good thing no one was watching...

Member Contributer Mohawk Posted January 31, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted January 31, 2016 This will run forever, but to me it's simple. Having watched the replay many times from all angles in slow motion. Marquez had the bump protection bar end same as everyone else, so should not be possible to accidentally brake, he was going to have to run off track, but deliberately steered into Rossi, who pushed out with his knee. Now if we accept that Marquez was trying to interfere in Rossi title attempt, then he deliberately dropped his own bike in order to kill Rossi's title hopes due to race directions usual lack of. Strangely Simoncelli got much harsher treatment from race direction than Marquez, for much less ! Yet the Honda poster child got nothing ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time (in November), it was Honda's choice not to show the data. So nothing has changed. Honda initially said they would provide the data, then reneged on that promise. Nearly two months later, the MotoGP organisers allegedly said "please don't release the data", which was exactly what Honda was already (not) doing! (I think the "something even more happened" he is referring to is the Valencia race.) We don't know what the data proves (if anything), but Honda could have released it any time between Sepang and last week, and yet chose not to. You can read into that whatever you like. Personally, I think if the data actually proved Rossi "kicked" Marquez, Honda would have released it in November. Witholding "the proof" could only needlessly prolong this whole sorry episode--didn't Honda want to end the controversy? Ciao, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer hvfrdave Posted January 31, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted January 31, 2016 As already been said many times before, this is not over, by any means, As regards to Rossi kicking Marquez, after watching the footage over and over again, Rossi pushed Marquez away from him with his Knee and thigh, a natural reaction, which I think most of us would of done the same thing. However Rossi's biggest mistake was letting his mouth go before the race, all that should of been sorted between both Honda's and Yamaha's Management, and if need be Dorna. I am really concerned for both riders safety, when the season kicks off, [pardon the pun]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
