Pretty comprehensive that. No surprise that those tiny minority in the “right call” camp have shown a previous dislike of Jason Doyle. Not that their judgment is in any way clouded of course!

Seems pretty clear cut doesn't it... though if I'd posted it in Polish the numbers may be different

Yes, it's as conclusive as it gets, some bloke on twitter that hates Zmarzlik and has 22 followers has started a poll and got the answer he desired 

You lot are hilarious

It was a 50-50 call which Doyle rolled the dice on. Can't blame him as he might have won the re run had it gone his way.

Zmarslik seems to have become an untouchable force in the gps. Everyone is s@#&t scared to race him, the amount of room he was given to pass on the back straight was laughable. Imo he was never getting excluded in the final, Doyle could have stayed on but what would that have achieved….

Not sure about..that..in the re run Holder stuff him up and gave him zero room at all 

[Pinny 2,536]

Zmarzlik definitely at fault and the ref bottled it. Clear as day. 
 

Glad Holder slammed the door on him in the re run.

For all Holder's efforts  Bart still ended up about  300mm away from winning the final !

So Holder's robust action is to be admired but Bart 's is unacceptable !

This type of incident has been discussed many times and as usual people see it different ways.

For a long time, the falling rider getting the decision was the default decision by referees, so this is what people expect, but it seems now that the tide is turning a bit. 

For me, Doyle left Zmarzlik a gap coming off bend 2 that he was inevitably going to take and he was passed. While I agree with the comments saying that Doyle didn't lean in on Zmarzlik, and that he continued on his natural line, was that wise when you know that someone else is already on that line now?

Zmarzlik didn't move towards Doyle either, and had nowhere else to go, but Doyle had probably 70% of the track width available to him to avoid the collision. 

It's racing, and we all want to see close racing, so this type of incident is inevitable unfortunately. It was a racing incident and without prejudice, I think the referee got it right.

He should have laid it down and played the game.  Or, you know, show some balls and race 

Doyle must have been to the Verstappen school of driving. He has someone alongside him that actually has a wheel ahead when they get to the turn, and he expects them to disappear into thin air.

I always preferred the points you score being the points you get, getting in a final on 8 and being awarded 20 if you win it is a joke 

It’s certainly my opinion as well, I saw no reason to change it and it was much easier to follow.

Holder was ahead and closed the door which is fine , Zmarzlik was off line and went for a gap that wasnt there. Big difference.

I presume when you say passed you mean past. But that wasn't the case. The gap was there but Zmarzlik didn't complete the pass. They were side by side. Normally I'd say the rider who doesn't complete the pass is to blame if he brings the opponent down. But in this instance Doyle was culpable to some degree. Not an easy call and that's why we have referees to make those judgements.

That’s how I saw it ,they were handlebar to handlebar3/4 way up the strait.Doyle decided not to change line.Him being on the outside had the option.

Maybe we need VAR in speedway.
