Total accident.

But to your point, it was accidental. And Vince was trying not to hit him. Obviously had he been closer Vince would have tried an aggressive pass. Which is fine. Vince wasn’t close enough for that and was trying not to hit Brayton. He locked up the front so hard the front end tucked on him in the soft dirt and up and over Vince went into Brayton, who had cut down sharply.
Racing incident.
Friese hasn’t done anything stupid in quite awhile, people need to find someone else to complain about. The guy is just out there racing for a living, shit happens !
Monday afternoon after the race; a clear headed JB10 still opens his IG update on this matter with: "Unfortunately I got taken down on the last lap in Daytona which resulted in a broken hand."
No yea for sure, Brayton is all in on the just a racing incident thing with a teammate
It was not intentional of course. I think he was thinking Brayton would take a more outside line, while Freise was planning to take the most inside rut. In the end they were both going for the same line, reminds me of the same racing incident between Tomac and Musquin for a win (in Foxborough?). Not easy to make passes when riders are so close in speed, it is a bit a chess match between world class players.

"In the Main Event, I rode a little tight and got pushed around in the first few laps. I put myself in a good position but had a couple of bobbles in the sand and dropped back. I was riding and battling with my teammates, stayed with Justin in the middle part of the race there, and Brayton was on me from the middle part until the end," Friese said after the race. "A lapper got in my way, and JB got by me, so the lapper was still in between us, and I went for a pretty aggressive move. I had to lock up the front brake and high-sided into JB, and we both hit the deck. He got up and still beat me to 10th, which was a bummer. I hope he is okay, and I feel pretty bad. My intent was just to put the bike in front of him because he would have seen my bike and stopped, but with the lapper in the way made things more hectic. It's such a bummer because I want to put it in the top-ten for the team. Everyone is working so hard and to go from 10th to 11th like that is tough."
All I was saying it wasn't "clean" nor was it an "accident". A "racing incident"? Sure, but an avoidable one. Yeah, there's adrenaline out there, but ya still gotta think. It was a bone-head move that had about a .05% chance of success, own it or not. That's my point.
Edit - what do I want? Nothing. He don't owe me squat.
