It's unfortunate but i think the call was fair, looked like pendleton was on her way out of the red line before mears touched her, then she bottled it in the second. you win some and you lose some.
Really hard to see, but i think there was a subtle contact while they were still going round the corner which sends Vicky towards the bottom of the track. She then swerves back and has crossed the sprinter's line before the strong contact on the straight and is really riding on the line up to the finish.
