When Kelly lumgair pushed roczens bike through Ryan's TV interview almost shoving Ryan out of the way. My wife even commented "did Kenny's mechanic actually just do that?"

Let's call it Bumpgate.

Should. Not. Have. Done. That. 56 seconds lead on KR by the end of the race. And bumped him in front of a worldwide audience. You think Roger might have something to say to him about it? Wonder if KR's mechanic expects to leave with him. Would you fire the points leader's mech for doing something like that, or fine him, or what?

Yeah...I would not do anything.

C'mon man, the guy was trying to maneuver the bike between the leg of the EZ up and Dungey and bumped into him. Have you noticed how many people cram themselves under those EZ Ups after a moto?

Really? I wouldn't do anything. They are all grown men capable of handling it on their own.

I'm hoping it was an accident. Didn't pay attention to see if Kelly had his headset on...... Might have been an honest accident? Regardless, Ryan looked miffed. (I didn't blame him either.... Seemed awkward)

Roczens camp is getting flustered. Has to be tough for them to see their points lead get cut in half almost.

It's definitely interesting to say the least. 14 points. Can't wait for 'dilla!

I don't imagine that shoving Ryan out of the way during his live interview went unmentioned back at the KTM pits.

Yeah, my bad--I can't rewind and look at it again, but it just looked so bad when it happened. I didn't see why he had to back the bike out of there, but no telling what was happening off camera to force him to back out. My point was that mechs in particular are paid not to make mistakes, if it was a mistake. Rough spot to be in if you have to hustle the bike back to go over it--another reason I don't like them interviewing without a decent interval. I noticed them taking pains to direct Marvin straight onto the podium after his first moto--Roger might have told the TV people not to jam everybody up under the EZ Up again after hearing from Lumgair. I did wonder why they went straight to the EZ Up--did they do that last week? Did they use the podium for both second motos today?

Pretty thoughtless move on the mechanics part. Had to know they were on live TV. Seemed to notice what he was doing and kept doing it anyway.

I just went back and few arched it myself.l I have to say if I was Dungey I would be pissed also. Not only did he bump into but it then looked to me like he forced himself and the bike through....I am not as classy as Ryan because I would have embarrassed the guy on national tv...

I agree. I hope Roger spoke to him. That looked terrible.

Kelly was probably mad because they had the bikes, riders, media, etc all stuffed under one little EZ UP. Let's not forget there is only one hour to get ready for second moto and probably a lot to do. But it did look very unprofessional and very disrespectful to a fellow employee.

I thought I saw something about him staying at KTM. Bad move but I doubt it was anything more than a pissed off mechanic not paying enough attention.
