What if you were in the same position with one of your good friends right behind you? Would you have let him by if it was for the championship and you were out of it? If not, I wouldn't want to be your friend.
I would have done the exact same thing for a good friend. This whole thing is getting blown way out of proportion. Anyone who thinks that any other riders/teams wouldn't have done the same thing is completely naive and I'm a Persian Prince who wants to give them 10 million dollars if they just send me their bank account and social security number.
A contract is just a piece of paper, Tell Davi Millsaps how good his contract was when Kawi released him. You are contracted by your team to perform and act to represent the brand under the direction of the team manager.
So if you show up at work and your boss tells you to move the garbage can your going to tell him thats not your job and refuse, and expect to maintain your relationship? Comeon man, think about what you just said.
Ask Albertson how good his contract was last year with his main sponsor. Contract are merely instruments to negotiate with and always have termination and out clauses for both parties.
On this planet, Earth in 2017, the people who write the checks have the final say and the ones who cash them must be subordinate to them.

Does anyone remember Webb moving over for Jeremy Martin a couple years ago? (In Utah, I think, in real motocross, not this Mickey Mouse shit.) Tough shit for Musquin at the time. These are factory teams with corporate sponsors, and they are not fucking around.
This was going to happen no matter what. If RD made a pass that wasn't so obvious to the morons all of the press would be saying what a great race for RD. He got it back together and passed MM.
Dungey is near the end of his career. It's time people. MM could have left him. He rode a good pace Dungey could follow, only a big deal to the masses because the end was obvious.
And it reveals the legitimacy of the idea that it is "just a part of racing and no big deal"
Of course it isnt okay and it isnt perceived as okay and it is not healthy for the sport.
That is EXACTLY why Marvin didnt admit to doing it intentionally in his interview..As you pointed out already.
Using your idea, you should have thrown the plate across the room and then punched the chef in the face.
It goes both ways.
AMA Rulebook:
Appendix A:
General Offenses and Penalties
A2.2
c. Abetting or knowingly engaging in any race in which the result is “fixed” or prearranged.
Now you're saying this is a team based sport!
Mind = blown..
Next event I race locally I can purposely lose and yet still win!
Participation trophys and pictures with young hot models for everyone!

Just food for thought.
what you are saying is, you'd make sacrifices in your career to make your "good" buddies career better? I'm calling BS on that one.
the funny thing is, you act like your one of the gang...like you know how good of friends Marv and Ryan are. it's a institutional relationship. wouldn't be surprised if they ever talked to each other ever again once one of them leaves KTM. how many people have you worked with over the years that you we're friends with that you never talked to ever again after you left that job?
If you don't believe that, well... you don't know much about team sports.
It has been done many times before, and yes not only in other sports but also in sx and mx.
No one has been cheated out of anything. I'm a Tomac fan and feel bad for him, he just had a bad night, it happens.
One cool thing is Ryan and Eli have always raced with each other clean, no bs take outs.
It is unlikely MM's move yesterday plays a role in the Title, but... who knows?! Next week should be interesting to say the least :-)
To answer your question, I would feel the same way, good racing either way. Vegas is going to be good.
