he did what he did and caused the incident. we have seen this happen in gps, so dont try using the inexperienced excuse.

For curiosity, what should Cooper have done, just wave Harrison through???

He shouldn't have turned left, you can see in the excellent video analysis that @Dave_minall posted he literally turns his front wheel to the left at the 14 second mark... you can't show those that don't want to see 🙈

I should have put this in the video in hindsight, but in the closeup you can see Harrison off the throttle with his left foot down trying to slow down as well.

these are young riders on a new track.  i think he went to block harrison without appreciating the amount of speed he had scrubbed off would mean that he would likely cut him up.  it wasnt as though it he fenced the guy but it was dangerous riding - intended or not

The white trail line is the biggest evidence you need regardless of the front wheel movement. Rushen doesn't deviate. 

I'm still waiting for an explanation as to what Cooper should have done??

I'll say it one final time and then leave it... He shouldn't have turned left.

You do realise that although it looks like his front wheel is pointing to the right that they are actually coming towards us so that means he's turning left 😂😂

But, if you look at the video from behind, although Cooper's front wheel is turning left, his bike is still moving straight or to the right. He never comes in beyond mid track.

If you look at the first lap Kye Thomson rides a similar line, albeit that he doesn't scrub off speed by over locking. Maybe Cooper was just following the line Kye took on the previous lap, thinking that was the racing line

When people say 'what else could Luke have done' then look at the line Jody Scott took at the end of lap one to go inside Luke and much closer to the white line. 

I doubt anyone is going to change their mind about what happened and who caused it. Of course, these incidents happen in the blink of an eye. Given injuries to riders elsewhere over the last few days I am just glad that the injuries here appear relatively minor (although any concussion is not to be treated lightly)

Anyone can do a screen shot to suit an argument. His machine does not go left at any point down the straight and he's lined up to go through gate 3. Video evidence is very very clear on what happened.

It seems some still need lessons in basic physics.

You're wrong and anyone who knows speedway knows what happened.
