Good I wasn't having a senior moment
Deliberate brake checking should be penalised. What do the rules say?

Why?

It's a race tactic, just like a block pass. Should those be penalized, also?

[koko64]

I reckon there's a difference between the two. You can see the block pass easier than an extra squeeze of the brake and that's where the danger is. A rider sees the block pass but a brake check is more dangerous IMO. There's no brake lights and it's deliberate baulking but using the brake instead of bike position. Deliberate baulking in some circumstances can be sanctioned iirc.

I guess we can agree to disagree.

I had lots of people complain about my block passes

LoL

The way I see it, it's racing at the highest level, and shouldn't be sanitized. JMO I'm also not promoting the idea that it should get so dangerous as to cause injury. It's a fine line.
Marc schooled Fabio very much like Valentino schooled Marc.
There will be many more great races between these two in the future.

HiHo...off to work.

This! Like I said above, MM was playing with his food that whole race. He knew that they were the only 2 with the pace. I think MM wanted to see what the new kid has, especially since his biggest competition is in a downswing.
