Ok so we agree then? Ridiculous chastising a youngster the way you have. If it's so bad that he tried to kill someone then you'd want him to be punished?

Huh? Think you've eaten too many skittles 😁 We definitely don't agree on the oh let's forgive him he's only a boy issue and I never called for any further punishment, you must be mixing me up with another poster.

We agree on he should be excluded. You compared the incident to him to trying to kill someone.. so surely he should be punished? You're deluded

The other thing people aren’t mentioning is the fact it was inexperienced riders behind Cooper. I’ve seen riders with a few years under their belts almost stop down the straight when needed. I don’t know how they do it but that level of skill doesn’t manifest over night. 

Having said that, my problem with Coopers move yesterday was the looking beforehand. Riders have made moves being unaware of those behind but this was thought about. Negatives can be the best learning platform and I believe this will be for Cooper. 

Is there a possibility that by looking back over his left shoulder, Rushen caused his bike to veer to the left afterwards? Thereby not a deliberate move, but one caused by lack of experience but neverthleless something which should be addressed with him?

PS have just seen Gavan's post which has previously said this.

Watching the incident over & over & for me (unpopular opinion clearly) the referee made the right call.

Rushen overshooting the corner a little & just tries to get his wheels in line quicker to regain speed to hold position. At no point through the whole move is he moving left down the straight. The view from behind is very very clear on that.

For me, Harrison had enough time & room to see what was happening in front of him but failed to adjust to the situation.

 

Agree 100%

But he is going to look, he made an error off the bend so checked everyone else's position, it's normal with every rider who makes an error. Absolutely normal to do.

At the point of Rushen looking back, Harrison was far enough behind to see Rushen's corrective manoeuvres. For me, the incident only arises because Harrison isn’t aware of his surroundings.

Rushen doesn't & never did turn left down the straight.

The only decision the referee had on offer was excluding Harrison. 

 Couldn’t agree more again 👍🏻 Rushen was on that line quite a way before Harrison hit him, the referee’s only option was to exclude Luke
