I have been quite defensive about the incident with Xcite. I think its quite unfair that everyone is flaming me etc. imo, Madding squeezed me, and left me tiiiiny space. I had nowhere to go than to backoff, but I couldnt react fast enough to do so. If I had backed out, there wouldnt been contact. If Maddin hadnt squeezed me, we wouldnt made contact.
I should have dropped back, but I did NOT know that he was gonna squeeze me. I had the draft and thought of a normal pass, but he then squeezed me and left me no room. This gave me a heartattack and I couldnt react fast enough to back out - which is why I didnt back out. I would have backed out if I knew how it was gonna end, but as said, it was too late before I figured that out. Both of us could done something different to avoid it.
But I didnt read Maddin's move on lap 1.
