NW 200 - pat slinn - 20-05-2012
What do people think, ? Was the pass that Seeley pulled on Dunlop.....fair, dangerous, or stupid ?
RE: NW 200 - Lee - 20-05-2012
I have only saw it from the helicopter cam but from William said "he weaked it up" after he passed him. (spelling?)
The way I understood it was that Seeley passed him on the inside, stood the bike up and took Williams line before turning into Church. That resulted in William having to stand this bike up out of the racing line. Was there contact also?
Seeley was in need of an "aggressive" pass as the Honda was faster but I don't think his excuse of "Rubbing is Racing" applies to a corner with a brick wall as run off?
Nobody was hurt but he may of lost a few fans as far as his real road racing career is concerned.
Looking forward to see a close up shot.
But until then, to answer your question Pat. I'd go for number 3. IMO He could have got him under the brakes up the road a bit.
