Honest question imo... Nice to see some emotion from a rider though

Well, that escalated quickly.....
He probably shouldn't have asked that. Or at least worded it way differently.

No shit he wants to move on... Dianna Dahlgren....

Injuries like that are horrific. I feel for the guy, i'v had close people get hurt bad and it's horrible.

But i wouldn't call Keefer a jerk, i think everyone here know that he's a nice guy. I'm 100% sure that he feels bad after that question.

I don't think he said it with the intention of hurting Marvin.

I agree. Pretty sure Keefer didn't mean to hurt Marvin asking that question. I really wanted to hear how his brother is doing though. Sad to see the guy cry though.

Could you fill us in on what the question was? I assume it was from the press conference?

He asked about his brothers injury and how do you put something like that out of your mind. Marvin broke down.

Keefer asked Marvin how the preparation to A1 was affected by the horrific injury to his brother, and then he asked in what condition Mika was at now.

I don't see how being a press conference makes that question off limits. It's a shitty situation and keefer wasn't trying to offend anyone.

Wow. Yeah, that's a pretty bone headed question, even though I'm sure Keefer didn't mean for it to be. It's probably constantly on Marvins mind anyway. Poor guy. Man, that breaks my heart to think about what families go through in these situations.

Y'all are voting for Hilary aren't y'all?

Offended by everything!

I thought it was a good question, and shows these athletes are human.

Whats up with moto peeps being all emotional an shit these days. Remember when Alessi won his heat race and started crying. Makes me think of time when Bob Hannah won at dilla and he was on the podium grabbing tits and ass while chuggin a beer, not crying

I don't think Keefer is the kind of guy to try and upset someone deliberately, but he should know better than to ask a question like that in a press conference. That was poor

Public media table is not right place for something like this.
I hope this doesnt hurt Marvins racing.

As a professional you have to be able to compartmentalize these types of things, It wasn't a douche question, I didn't even know his brother was hurt. Now I do. It sucks of course, but I am certain there was no disrespect meant by keefer.

It was a good question.

Most of the questions were "how was your offseason? How was the preparation? How's the new bike?" Like these guys are gonna say it was shitty and I don't feel prepared. At least this was a real question, people are offended way too damn easily.

Indeed, Keef didn't expect it nor mean for it to go like that and probably feels bad now...I am sure he will apologize to Marvin....its just sad and I am sure everyone on that panel was a little unsure what to do......there was a good 10-15 seconds of silence....

I am more surprised nobody consoled MM.....Not sure how many of the guys new he was upset...But Milsaps was sitting right there.....
