bark615 Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I can see helping out a team mate for ONE race, but when you ask a team mate to drop back in 2 or 3 races where do you draw the line. Yea I know the overall team wants to win, but what about that rider. http://www.motomatters.com/opinion/2014/11/01/team_orders_is_motorcycle_racing_a_team_.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 It's racing. Racing is a business and there are team orders in certain instances. Sykes should have been closer instead of his teammate having to slow so much. Baz is going somewhere else anyways so, it was a moot point. But the bottom line is that you are a team. Winning championship means more money. Means more exposure and more everything. If a rider is not in the fight for the championship and ahead of his teamate where the points can be a difference, he will get asked to fall back, block, etc. It's a team sport in that regard...
