Same thing happened with Osborne and Cianciarulo, only Martin grabbed a handful and looped out. If they dq Craig that's super lame.

Honestly, you're right. I just seem to have a problem with someone hurt and can't race but the person who caused it faces no consequences, but I have to remember this is dirt bikes and it happens quite often. I take back what I said about benching Craig, I'm sure he didn't want to hit AMart and feels bad about it.

exactly and many other cases before (Webb in 2015-16), Barcia's constant bonehead moves in practice too. Doesnt even look like Craig did it on purpose and def' not the kind of guy to do that for free.

If they DQ'd Craig they'd just confirm the opinion people have of them and they consistency in enforcing things. Poor.

So much anger in this thread, and so little brains being used! It looks like Craig had maybe 1-2 seconds to stop and turn after landing before hitting Martin. It's not as easy as it sounds, and anyone who has ridden before knows how hard it is, and how long it takes to slow down and turn at a high speed. Now try and think about it at a pro level on a Supercross track, and realize how hard it must be to do. I'm not saying it was an accident, because it could easily have been intentional, but just stop and think about it from both sides instead of calling for Craig's execution.

Why would Craig stop? You know how bowls work, yes? (hint: these bowls don't require lighters)

If you watch a few seconds before the incident on the video on Supercross live, It looks like Martin got in Craig's way during his heater lap, Maybe Craig got pissed?

Wonder if everyone saying it was an "unintentional " incident on here will take the same route and admit they were wrong too?

What do you know? The idiot throwing around terms like "snowflake", "triggered" and "cucks" is wrong again. How surprising.

Of course he won't, "snowflake" is in his vocabulary.

"I have been fined and penalized for my actions on the track."

I understand the fine. But what is the penalty?

Wonder if he has been taking performance enhancing drugs which could alter his personality from easygoing to rage?

Watching practice online up to this: Craig was on a burner until 3 turns before this incident when Martin got in his way (on accident) and messed up his lap. Craig saw an opportunity to get him back and went for it. I say DQ Craig, it was a shitty move on his part. Martin could've broke his back landing like he did. I'm glad he's okay.

Doesn't matter how "top class and honest" his apology is. He purposely ran into Alex and knocked him out of the race because he was frustrated and that's immature and unprofessional, plain and simple. Even moto fans don't like that kind of stuff

Exactly, guys will come on here to tell Craig it was an accident and that his Instagram post is wrong.

Vitards never fail to disappoint!
