Good times
You guys defending it as an agressive pass don't come whining when it happens to you especially when it causes injury or broken bike bits. Problem is it's gone on for so long with no kind of penalty people think it's the norm. In motogp that type of riding would get you docked positions for being overly aggressive like this pass was.
I also don't see it as a pass it was an intentional take out move. But just play dumb the fim/ama have no balls to inforce it.
ET is so freaky fast he has probably fallen out of the habit of protecting the inside. He usually immediately starts gapping the riders behind him, and probably would have pulled away from MM if it was a mid race pass. But MM cranked it up when a tiny opening presented itself, and it work out for him. Aggressive absolutely yes. Wrong, no.
This is my guess.

"Musquin and Tomac: What Marvin Musquin did to Eli Tomac in Foxborough is exactly what Eli would have done to him if the situation was reversed. That’s a fact…plain and simple. No amount of whining about it by Eli is going to change the outcome. Supercross tracks are designed with big banked corners to make collisions more common place. The big banking is virtually unnecessary for turning the corner (a three-foot-high berm would achieve the same thing—it’s there to create collision situations). Eli wants Marvin punished by the AMA, which means he wants himself punished for when he plowed Cooper Webb a couple races ago.
Perhaps, in retrospect, Eli shouldn’t have cruised down the starting straight on the last lap like he was a parade float. If he hadn’t tooled along, Musquin wouldn’t have been able to come from out of nowhere to catch him in the next corner. What happened in that corner was what always happens on the last lap of a race with $100,000 up for grabs. And for all who say that Marvin T-boned Eli, it was not a T-bone. Marvin’s front wheel was in front of Eli’s, which is four-feet away from forming a “T” with his front wheel and Eli’s engine cases (and Marvin didn’t rip Eli’s grip off either—that was courtesy of Justin Barcia, who came along while Eli was casually picking his bike up and clipped it).
Face it, no spectators want to pay the ridiculous Supercross ticket prices to see a parade—they got their money’s worth in Foxborough. Marvin has always been too nice in the corners and Eli has a long way to go to live down his actions at Las Vegas last year against Ryan Dungey—where he did try to T-bone Dungey on the last lap (but Dungey was too smart for that). Marvin and Eli don’t have to be friends. They are competitors—and both know that you protect the inside on the last lap. If you don’t, guess what happens?"
