So BSB got wrapped up in dramatic fashion. To me, Hill pushed too hard,
trying to take 2 riders in one corner, clearly going in too fast. Easy to
say from my armchair, and ifs & buts don't count in racing.
But then we get Jack Valentine going on about how the rules (and not for
the first time). I like Valentine's straight-up approach, but he seems
focused on the negative. "We then fell foul of the one bike rule" he
says. Hmmm, sorry Jack, but even with a 2 bike rule, Hill couldn't have
gone into the 2nd part of the race. Firstly, Hill caused the red flag.
Secondly, Hill never made it back to the pits within 5 mins.
Hill cooked under the pressure. He's not the first. Won't be the last.
Congrats to Kiyo, he rode bloody brilliantly all weekend.
