...gets the sack for dangerous racing. Silly thing to do. I feel a bit sorry for him though.

 He knew the risks.

..............attempted murder?..................

He’ll be banned from track racing. 

Could he race here though? Is braking an opponent’s bike against the rules in TT, as long as they know the risks? Sure to be a TV draw.

Breaking your own certainly isn’t.

You're obvs correct with hindsight. Have edited.

He's an idiot...rightly sacked and should be banned.

If he did similar here he would certainly be disqualified, banned and would probably have ended up killing himself and a.n. other.

[the stinking enigma]

He has too much talent to ever need to race here.

If he has that much talent then surely he would not need to resort to such dirty and irresponsible tactics. 

I don't think anyone who races on the Island would try something like that.  They are competitive but as has been said they understand the risks of racing on the Island and there is a mutual respect between them (albeit sometimes grudgingly).  Pulling such a stunt here would be attempted murder.

He was competing for 12th place, in Moto2, surely a different class to the TT.
