Look...I'm a James Stewart fan AND a Marvin Musquin fan...and I personally don't think Stewart was the culprit in causing MM25 to biff the triple & get all out of shape so that he threw the win away last night. I don't. From every given camera angle, it showed MM coming up short on the triple and getting completely out of control. Heck, Dungey was scary-close to landing on him! Stewart didn't pull over to the side of the triple & kill his engine to watch those two go by, like some think he should've all but done...he was trying to stay the heck out of trouble.
But last night I see Marvin posting over and over, and over on Twitter how Stewart cost him the win, and "if Stewart would have moved over". I know Marvins upset & disappointed...and that Frankie was too...but wtf? Get over it! Racing happens! Marvin is coming off like a girly crybaby in this, and he needs to take it on the chin (like Stewart did at A1 when RD center punched him) and be a professional.

"I personally don't think Stewart was the culprit in causing MM25 to biff the triple & get all out of shape so that he threw the win away last night. I don't.

The reason he states is because of Stewart racing him and not obeying the blue flag. Are you calling Marvin a liar then?
"Stewart didn't pull over to the side of the triple & kill his engine to watch those two go by, like some think he should've all but done" I haven't seen anyone say Stewart should have hit his kill switch. Maybe you could direct me to those posts? He should have obeyed the blue flag though which he did not. (By definition, if you pass the leader on the blue flag you disobeyed it) You can not agree with it as you clearly don't but...that's the rule as it currently sits.

Hold your line, and get out of the way when possible. He didn't.
2. I guess sarcasm didn't translate well to print. And, I'm well aware of the blue flag rule. Once again...Stewart did not race or pass Marvin, but he did hold his line. Unfortunately for Musquin...it wasn't the line he expected him to take.
And crybaby? I thought Marvin took it well. I'm guessing if any other rider had their first 450SX win screwed by a lapper on the final lap they probably would have threw a tantrum and tried to start shit with them.
The money...that's another story.
Slowing and hugging the inside line is the "right" thing to do, but it doesn't make James' decision "wrong". Perhaps not the greatest judgment call, and it definitely impacted the race, but #7 wasn't blocking the leaders; he simply did not act in a measured, predictable fashion. Which basically surmises Stewart's entire career.
Bring on next week!
What caused James to crash in Colorado in 2012?
Musquin rode like a man.
And spoke like a crying little boy whose 4 o'clock snack has been stolen by a classmate...
He did great on the track and ends up sounding like a whiner and a sore loser...
Once again.

even is he was completely wrong about Stewart which he wasnt, ofcourse your disappointed and everything after losing your first every 450 win in the last lap. It's easy to call someone a sore loser from the couch, really
For those of us who only see one where he says he wishes js would have let them by earlier and one where he says he made a mistake himself and changed the line because he was afraid to have dungey land on him
Can't seem to find all those whiny posts everyone is talking about
Enough of that, who saw Malcolm pull that holey in his heat race??? Impressive.
