He didnt say Gannon lied. He just pointed out a blatant lie by whoever typed up the PR.

Technically Sotille got a pole position (timed practice not a qualifying race, And an LCQ is a race so technically you could say Gannon got a podium finish, he did stand on the podium its just how you choose to look at it...

Its not how you look at it. When you ask someone who won a race, you sure as shit aren't asking who won the LCQ or heat race. Unless he was on the box after a main event, moto or 2 motos, hes not on the box.

PR is marketing. Marketing in general is shameless and "creative".

Heat races + LCQs + Main Events = Podium TV time
Podium TV time = Thank sponsors
Even if it's an LCQ, it's still TV time to thank sponsors.

A team like Dragon Fuels/AG Motorsports/Cernics KTM wants a rider that can get on the podium, even if it's in an LCQ.

Technically not a lie - but we 'know' it was pretty much a lie.

1. Picking the fly shit out of the pepper

1. The act of being nit-picky to a ridiculous degree.
2. To meticulously analyze minutia.

Lie or misinformation. It doesn't really matter. What does matters is that Audette found a ride. He's a very talented racer who unfortunately had a pretty dismal rookie season. His highlight, which I am surprised the PR completely missed, was his fourth place finish in the first moto at Southwick this year.

Best of luck to Gannon in 2012, and I would not be surprised to see him land on the podium this year.

Information is wrong in both cases, but there's a difference between a lie and a mistake.

Well shit, if he won a LCQ or 2, that's a WIN not a podium! Would it be nitpicking if they claimed he had 2 wins? No, that would be serious business I guess.
