Well, I finally saw a head-on shot and Farrar's hand off the bars,
pushing Renshaw. That should have been enough to get him DQ'd, also.
Contrary to Bob Roll's "he had to do that to save himself". Disagree--
"hit the brakes, Tyler".

Dean should have been DQ'd, also, for moving over in the first place.
Which as Sherwen pointed out, was also a serious offense, and the
first one, deliberately aimed at shutting Cav out.

How about a nice fat monetary fine for the principal perps, a finger-
wagging, and double non-secret probation?

I still think that Renshaw was like the guy on the bar floor swinging
fists and elbows-- I mean like, "OK-- let's all ride in a straight
line, and if you don't wanna do it that way..."

If he'd hit the brakes then he most likely would've been rear ended.
A slight push on Renshaw's hip was the smartest, safest move.

Tom, if you watch the overhead shots, Renshaw glances back to his left and makes a
quick direction change into the oncoming Farrar. Farrar put his hand on Renshaw's hip
because it happened when Farrar was about a foot and a half from being even with
Renshaw. He was trying to keep from being pushed into the barriers. Due to the speed
of Renshaw's sideways move, hitting the brakes would not have been enough to keep
Renshaw from colliding with Farrar.

I think Dean's move was gradual enough that Renshaw should have been able to
negate it simply by holding his line. The multiple head knocking was unecessary.
Renshaw's attempt to hook Farrar after seemed retaliatory to me. Anyway, while the
line changing is what got Renshaw deked, the officials *really* don't want the public
seeing the race degenerate into a physical brawl on a level with WWE. The head butts
were far more obvious to the average viewer than line changes.

Dumbass -

Renshaw was slightly behind Dean. The way to keep him from crowding into the
barriers in that situation is Renshaw should've loosened up his upper body,
put his elbow underneath Dean's and flicked his elbow forward. If he did
that a few times, that would buy enough time for Cav to make his jump.

thanks,

For Pete's sake. Are you going rational on us?

Forgive him, he knoweth not what he does. Here.
