Hickman's move on O'Halloran. fk me.

I'm a fan of most of the riders, but I'm rooting for O'Halloran this year. Can't believe the blokes luck sometimes!

Yeah, that was harsh.. Hiccy seemed to think it was a fair move though.. Not sure Jason saw it that way.. he was not a happy boy!

Just watched it, Hickey looked passed when JO hit the back of his bike, can see what Hickey did wrong TBH.

The on board vid from Hicky is on bsb twitter site. The o show left a gap big enough for the race truck to get through.
Ridiculous to have disqualified Hickman for that. Ohallaran was daft, not to just sit up a bit, square it off and get him back on the exit.

It’s funny, I don’t remember them disqualifying Mackenzie for his Silverstone moves on the O show?

Is Higgs sleeping on the sofa tonight ? Awks indeed!

To me, it's a racing incident in that JO left a gap and PH took the gap as any racer would do. Yes JO was taking a wider line to cut back but if there is a gap and you don't go for it, then you need to hang up your leathers and walk away.

However, gotta feel for O'Halloran after today, taken out twice at the same corner and zero points to show for it, his luck in the showdown is appalling. Bad weekend all round for McAms this weekend

Not sure. I do recall Iddon kept getting knocked off/crashing at one point after going ages without a DNF.

It was Taz who tangled with Iddon. Same race as his incident with Jackson, if I remember.

What's worse is that Bridewell wasn't DQ'd as well for a far more aggressive move in the next race 9and that's before TBs ridiculous comments about JO afterwards)

However that's the second season JO seemed to be cruising (relatively) towards the title only to blow up in the showdown

I'm wondering if because Bridewell made contact slightly earlier in the corner it was deemed not as bad, because O'Halloran had a better chance to see him (as Bridewell was alongside before they turned in).

It is a funny one. Would be good to get an explanation.

Camera angle must have something to do with it but for me, Hicky was past JO as JO hit the back of his bike, whereas TB essentially ran him off the track and was nowhere near as far past as Hicky was.

Like i said, camera angle must play a large part of it
