Dorna should be shopping for tire suppliers smart enough to test new track surfaces before they commit to a tire allocation.

Maybe they'll see the stupidity of a control tire eventually. Undecided

Thats a major loss of face for Bridgestone. Someones gonna get their arse kicked.

 It's amazing they didnt test the new surface, since its the fastest track on the calendar now. The tyre giants have made special tyres for the place for years.  The Island has been hard on tyres over the years in Moto GP and SBK, and on a hot day tyre failure with delamination/chunking has occured. Remember Chillis 996 chunking out the lhs of his rear Michelin in SBK on a hot day? I forget what year that was.

In an interview Crutchlow mentioned "issues and confusion about tyres" for race day.

I like the new format. Maybe they should do bike swaps all year. Would make it more interesting.

...not that it would've definitely changed this situation any. see indy usgp 2005.

True, but at least it wouldn't show a complete lack of concern on Bridgestone's, and Dunlops part.

can you imagine if they'd gone for pitstops?

hi teams, please figure out how to perform a pitstop in the next 18 hours.  good luck.

Mate I'm still stunned!
I thought the penalty was more appropriate for his pit exit line/timing than missing the pit message/pit entry timing. He looked and saw JL coming at speed, entered the track and went across the line. Yikes, thats fast there! Could have been RIP right there for the two of them. Maybe the officials added the two things together.

The whole set up was unsafe compared to two short races for half points. Bridgestone make the beast with two backsed up. The fastest track on the calender and they didnt make a tyre for the new surface.
I had enough trouble seeing the pit board at 240kmh, let alone 340kmh! I only raced there once in Supersport.

Honda ninjas have already been authorized..
The fall out has only begun.

I love Colin Edwards

"Gresini's Bryan Staring made the same error as Marquez and was also disqualified, while Colin Edwards tweeted: "Not happy with the [Marc Marquez black flag] decision. First time running this scenario & disqualified. We r not mathematicians... let us race & F off."
