    Saw that! Suprisingly much better than actually being there!
    Was hoping to see Chubb's footage from the T1 incident with Mark?......

    I went into T1 deep because to get on the inside of Woolford. Ran wide and was powering on to just stick to the edge of the track when he hit me..

    thats about my point of view from it..

    I reckon you are faultless there, chubb. You were lots in front of Mark, and whilst you did go very deep, you didn't cut back onto the race line or anything. I think Mark got a bit 'target fixated' on you, had a bit of a wobble when he felt a possible collision coming, then caused the very collision he was trying to avoid by standing the bike up and hitting you.

    When I first watched it, it looked more like you were at fault, but looking at it a few times it's clear you wouldn't have even seen him until you two collided. It was just an unfortunate racing incident.

    Chubb would have had clear view!! the guy sat up to avoid being chopped!!

    Mark had the line and was drifting to the out side as you do in turn 1 and race craft would say if you had the speed to hold a tighter line, take him on the inside...am i wrong? If you going around the outside or you ran deep, you got to make sure its going to stick, not maybe!!!

    just another race incident... na not imo ...as wetty said "you got him good"

    i wouldnt be so nice about it if it happened to me

    bring it on!

    Clear view of the front yes. I didn't realise Mark hit me until he hit me. Didn't see him at all.

    Even Mark has said it was a racing incident.

    Why would Mark sit up if he has got the inside line???

    Nice humble bloke Mark - hope you go and take him a bottle of scotch for his recovery...

    in answer to your Q.. to avoid being chopped... oops to late

    Interesting interpretations..... there's lessons there regardless of who's at fault.

    If people can't face that reality then they should reconsider their desire to be on the track...

    Mark is actually very lucky the following bikes didn't go over his helmet.

    I hate buying into these arguments because it gets very personal.

    I've watched it over and over and this is what I think happened:

    Rancell makes dive on mark
    Rancell runs wide, so mark goes tight to cross him back. Standard stuff.
    Then it looks like mark lost his nerve and suddenly decommited from the battle. This is where only he would know what he was thinking but if I had to guess I would say that he thought rancel was coming back at him on the inside and decided to give him room. I find it hard to believe that if he knew Rancell was coming up on his right that he would have reacted the way he did. He clearly wasn't trying to block him, I think his intentions were good but made the wrong split second decision (we don't have rear view mirrors). If he stayed on his original path I reckon he would've held onto his position and they both would've stayed on track. But that's only my opinion, plenty of others have given their 2c.

    Knock yourselves out. This is from Mark's point of view.

    Page removed.

    Although I found his vid anyway. From the onboard, it totally looks like it's completely your fault, chubb!! It just shows there are two sides to every story. And that, despite all that, it was an unfortunate racing incident, without clear blame.

    110% agree with you, mate. Shit happens in racing. It clearly wasn't deliberate, or even a major fuckup on either part. All good; moving right along.

    I watched that incident and the many replays via the live streaming. My immediate thoughts were and still are, that it was an unfortunate racing incident. All the ifs, buts and maybe's don't change what happened. I'm sure neither rider wanted that to happen and that type of thing will no doubt happen time and time again. As the saying goes, shit happens - just a lot more on the race track. It was great racing before and after that incident though.

    Heads up they lost the signal part way through the final race, didn't fix the upload either which is annoying.

    Did anyone else hear the commentators talking about the last round of the year at SMSP being raced under the lights?

    Most of the enjoyment is in watching the battle, not just seeing the outcome

    Just watched the C/D superbike race. Huge prang when a bloke runs wide out of T1 then cuts straight across and takes out another bike. Guess that's why it's c and D grade. Hope nobody here was near that one and that the poor bloke who got taken out is ok. Thats racing I suppose.
