I think it's in regards to riders taking each other out by trying to out brake or doing stupid moves. There have probably been "confrontations" behind closed doors between some riders which FIM has got wind of. I couldn't quote a recent incident as it happens so frequently, but there have been some dooseys this year! Not too say there haven't been any in the past such as Laguna Seca Rossi V Stoner. Words were spoken but young Stoner is a gentleman and did not talk shit but said it with reserve and class

 ??? ??? ??? ??? Something in the Spanish press maybe. I don't think there's been anything extraordinary this year - at least not on the track or been reported in the 'Anglo' world. Being on the MotoGP site I assume it referring to MotoGP and Road Racing. MX'ers, DT'ers, Speedway and Enduro riders don't have tizzies throwing helmets and hurtling abuse ::) ;D

I do recall seeing a few "moments" in AMA MX/SX but at that level it is expected, sort of..... It would be like PRO Ice Hockey players having to say "sorry" every time they made contact with another player! It is surely warranted to keep that sort of thing out of all sport as it defies the whole meaning of sport, being a "GAME", not everyday real life but an entertaining diversion from real life

It's ironic to get a letter/email from MA Q on the same subject just yesterday.
