Fair or foul or other?

This is a racing incident
Blues' bad
Reds' error
To close to call...

I'm not a racer, but I concur with most of the folks here - first of all, it doesn't even appear that there was physical contact between the bikes. It looks like Red jerked and grabbed too much front brake -

(Knowing how hesitant and uncomfortable I used to be in turns, and having done it, I know what it feels like, although thankfully I never went down!).

Here's the original discussion on the topic (with my thoughts on it as well).  Read all the posts if you have the time:

There was contact BTW. 

In any event, it's been discussed thoroughly on the WERA board, so I won't post anything else here in regard to the matter.

Cheers,

this poll is not about ed kraft, as we originaly stated we are just looking at what people think about what is or isn't a racing incedent.  It's about your take on red guy and blue guy and how cool it is that evryone sees the same piece of footage a bit differently.

Probably should have said this before, the 'red guy' was fine, for the most part the bike was ok as well, thanks for your concern.
