this is what i wanted to hear, no excuses and full responsibility, when i watched the race its the only thing i could come up with was that it was just a split second bad decision and that if he is fair he will own up to it. i'm glad he is not appealing. I think its the right result.

“I’m not going to try to make any excuses. I don’t think there’s any excuse. It was the heat of the moment in the shadow of the finish line when I made what turned out to be a bad decision. Suffice it to say, I made a bad decision, and I’ll take responsibility.

“He was off, but I never felt in danger of going down. I think it looked a lot worse on replay than it seemed during the race.”

Seems to be a fair decision all the way around.
I believe Russel Baze in his apology and it's sincerity, things happen at that speed.
I never believed he intentionally did this just to win. A split second decision that went very wrong.
