“So, obviously, when it came down to the last two laps, these guys touched, they didn’t fight each other or anything like that, but these guys touched, I think Mark was loyal to the championship, and he listened to Simon Crafar, and everyone in the penalty box corrected him, and he was fine, when you get a penalty, you have bad taste.

But what I don’t want to see is a Mark level rider who doesn’t try to pass someone, and if they have that touch and go, they have to accept that. I think the riders need to be face to face about this because the competition is very tough these days in terms of bikes and machines, it’s important to talk about it all. “
