I said it was a fluke. How many times - if ever - have you seen the same scenario played out?

Answer: Never

Hence it was a fluke. Never said Reed was innocent of anything. Just that it was a bad combination of actions that made it look a lot worse.

None of us know.

But he did go down, and he did go after him like a small child having a temper tantrum. You are clearly a Rees lover and your biased statement shows that.

How often does a guy have a hand off the bars on the track in the middle of a race?

If he had both hands on the bars and Reed still cleaned him out then fine ... throw the book at him.

I'm merely pointing out that it was Canard's hands being of the bars and not the force of Reeds contact that caused the whole fuss. Bad luck and bad timing. It was a fluke combination of actions.

So it was canards fault to have hands off the bars fixing his goggles? Your logic is just ridiculous. How do you know he would not have went down with both hands on the bars? He went after another rider and put him on the ground, and got what he deserved. And is being a vagina and trying to get lawyers involved.

For fock's sake, this again?

As usual the Reed 'dislikers" slant things their way.

As EVERYONE could see it was just bad luck and bad timing that Reed happened to 'bump' Canard while Canard had one hand off the bars playing with his goggles. Clearly the initial bump would not have done much if Canard had both hands on the bars. I highly doubt Gallagher would have done much as well if Canard had stayed up.

So if it was mainly a bump is Reed really the incarnation of Satan? There has been plenty of bumping and rubbing in the series so far. The main difference is the 'bumpee' in those cases has had both hands on the bars.

YES, Reed clearly intended to go after Canard. But if he had done the exact same thing and Canard had both hands on the bars and merely bobbled for a moment ( but did not crash ) would anyone still be talking about this?

I am sure a lot more people would be talking if this clear 'bump' would of caused a injury to Canard or if he crashed he went into the track on the other side causing other riders to go down (and cause injury) or if Canard had stayed up then Reed might of tried to take him out again

Yes, lots of conjecture and what if's in my post, same as what yours had

Fact is, no one will try this again due to the precedence it has sent to all riders, thats got to be a good thing in the end doesnt it? And regardless of whether Canard had one hand or not on the handlebars it was dangerous and reckless and stupid

Does that say it was Canard's fault?

Did I ever say Reed was innocent?

Quit trying to twist everything to suit your view of things. The point I'm making is clearly over your head.

Where would reedy be without the black flag.

there would be a lot less people with their panties in a twist and a deeper hate for Reed.

hell, even after the guy wins a race you get fuckin' turds saying he only won because Tomac this, Roczen that, Dungey this... pathetic that people have to try to discredit anything these racers do just because they don't like the rider.

I don't think anyone is close yet. Obviously if Canard never took him out there would have never been a black flag and Chad clearly went on to win that race.

The confidence gained from the race win would have propelled him onto a winning streak that would still be going. Atlanta one would have been just another win instead of his first and he would be celebrating taking over the red plate this weekend instead of his win.

But dam it, things just did not turn out that way and he now sits 7th.
