Marc Marquez Ruled Out Of Mandalika MotoGP Race With Concussion

that looked nasty! All th best to MM and recovery.Hope no previous issues arise

It's an off throttle slide. So I don't think you can blame his right hand at all. 

Pre-warm up, the announcer's words that Marquez was going to go for broke in the race was met with an ominous sensation in this couch potato. I started watching the session and caught myself wondering when was the last time Marquez had four crashes during a race weekend. Not a moment of clarity, gut feeling, foregone conclusion, or any of that business. More like a what is about what was forthcoming. Empty. His high side was not surprising or expected. The only impression that was made was the spectacular fashion in which he exited the session.

I have respect for Marquez. He is a guy that asks for the food of life and eats heartily. Humans acquire an unknown body expiration date and live life with this knowledge. I also remind myself to have respect for everyone because we must live with that particular part of the human condition. It has been said that we are the only species that has knowledge of their own impending mortality. I cannot comment on the validity of that statement. It seems so, the way we create incredible dreams and pernicious sewers as we go about this business of life and death. One could say that Marquez, like many, is self-destructive. I prefer the Mexican definition of "bizarro." Grabbing life by the horns and wrangling them every day.

I also cannot comment on the cause of his crash. Must plead ignorance there. I kinda wish Marquez would dial it back a notch, but that's like asking one to modify their second nature, which is difficult to do. Maybe his leather sponsor could design him a Bibendum air-bag system. Michelin could join that game and they could all make money while possibly extending Marquez' career. Well, the show goes on whether it's wanted it or not, with or without Marquez. It's been doing fine without Rossi.

There was a lot of energy in that snap over the bars.  Marquez is constructed of pure titanium.  I hope he recovers quickly.  Best to the guy.  

I used to call these Lorenzo style highsides. But this out launched even early Lorenzo cold tire, off throttle launches.

I think the only thing that might have saved his career was the airbag. I really hope he tones it down. Have the Honda people even considered what might happen if this continues?

For me, what I see from Marquez is impatience, pure and simple, and that's what's going to ruin him if he continues like this. His impatience to return from his first serious accident (his arm) only succeeded in increasing his convalescence before his possible return. His impatience here at Mandalika has to wait to have the new Honda well surrounded when it is clear that the bike with these (new tires) is clearly not at its best. Throughout practice and especially during qualifying, he should have understood that this is not the weekend or the place to attempt the impossible. Instead of doing your best to earn as many points as possible and give time to better understand the bike. What has he achieved in his eagerness. Offside for the race! As I said, his impatience will end up ruining him.
