Guillod was racing hard on the final laps, for race position, on a track where gate pick is key. He stood febvre up just before the drop off, it was a little aggressive but racing is racing, doesn't matter which day it is.
Maybe Febvre was just telling VG that he needed to shift up. You know, teammate advice and such.
Febvre is the only shot at a championship for Yamaha.
This wouldn't happen at KTM.
Pit Row
Its Gajser , the guy who he is racing for the championship, on a Honda.. not the guy on a bike from the same factory as you .
Guillod had just been passed by Febvre , who was obviously quicker, if he was 'legitimately fast ' Febvre wouldn't have got there.. or if Guillod had caught Febvre , then it was legitimate, but to run out the current champ , on the same bike, in a quali race that pays nothing, I think it was short sighted and uneccessary.
Of course he thinks he's above everyone else, he is , that's what winning last year gets you.
There were 3 riders who would've won the title ahead of Febvre last year if they hadn't got injured, which fair enough, to finish first, first you have to finish, but he didn't absolutely smoke everyone, so he's not above everyone else
Nobody stays fit, they all have problems during the season. It's the points that count at the end off the season.
Febvre was the best last season, even if Cairoli stayed on 2 wheels he wouldn't have won the championship.
Weird comments ! I think the bird was too much, that was a mistake, but not the moves. Yes he is still humble, he didnt change one bit, but he can win so he has much more pressure and 95% of the time he is coming from behind to catch Gajser which must be very frustating to see a title progressively slipping away like this. No doubt he is nervous now being in the title hunt but as the main outsider, not as the challenger, however he didnt change at all, he has often been agressive on the track, and the comment on Cairoli not being agressive too and not making ennemies made me laugh if we recall his first half of career. That is racing and also why TC is respected.
I also think it was the right time for Febvre to show his competition that if he was not respected he would take a front wheel. Out of 10 GPs (500 points distributed max.), 60 to 80% of the 24 points gap in the championship is coming from racing incidents with riders: 7-9 points with JVH, which should have been avoided, 6-10 points with Cairoli which here was a 100% incident. With Guillod I think it was a little incident that put oil on fire, being pushed by a "team mate". I think it is solved now, easily, no big deal, yamaha may have just clarified that a rider in championship contention has logically the priority. Racing hard is normal but there are implicit rules in racing, like when Musquin is not pushing Dungey off track or off the starts, like Grant or Pourcel are giving no fight to Tomac or Anderson, which is professionalism as it brings nowhere to fight a team mate especially when the 0.2sec you lose is gained back over the next laps by studying faster lines.
Small incident, put in perspective no need to start a crusade
Good read.

Febvre: I think my team-mate, what happened on the racing, its more about his place in the team, he wants to be number one in the team, and last year I took his place and this year again. I think its frustration and in one time, one minute before (they had a confrontation) Cairoli took his spot on the gate, so why do it to me, especially your team mate? I think it wasn’t like what happened on the gate, but the frustration and then he took me out as well, it’s bad, but Yamaha made some good decisions. Guillod, it was a qualification race and he almost took me out of the track. You win nothing from that in a qualification race. If its Sunday I don’t mind so much, but on Saturday, I was pissed off for sure. All I can do is win moto’s and GPs and it will be good for me and difficult for them to accept.
"Stop racing hard out there for position, makes Yamaha look bad. Just roll over next time."
No.
