assen, round 7, practice & quali

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (slev7n @ Jun 27 2009, 05:50 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>he surely was complaining he said that they should do something about it, then he got owned by vale at the post quali press conference, they asked him about stoner´s complains and he said it was dificult to talk about it cause it was the same old .... then they asked pedro and jorge, after they asked again to vale if they should put fines or something ,and he replied that is nothing new and gave an example of stoner being fined at portugal 06 i think when dany was on a fast lap for pole and stoner was cruising in the middle of the track

so i don´t know why he´s moaning so much about it when he himself has made that same mistake


Ah a little nugget thanks Slev7n and I think you just answered your own question as to why hes pissed off about people blocking him or waiting for the tow. I would also be very pissed off and kicking out at other riders after being fined only to have the same thing to happen to me repeately. Its not bad enough that they just ...... up my lap but they probably get away without having to pay a fine
 
yeah i know that hes pissed off but .he should understand that sometimes the riders make mistakes including him ,the track wont be clear for his lap all the time , hes not the only one in the track and not everybody has to be clearing the way just because there are faster riders on track ,and again yes i know he has the right to be piss but it´s pretty inmature to be throwing fingers to everybody just because he couldn't be on the the front row
 
give it up, didnt u see the finger gestures given to loris for blocking on the final corner i think it was on elias (and quite rightly so). yet not one mention about it here or anywhere else
 
Morning warm-up complete!

(Similar to the other practice sessions, and Q.)
Barring rain, it looks like there is little to choose between the big three.

Peddles to do his usual hang-on-for-dear-life-but-never-have-a-hope-in-hell act.

After that, who knows?

Haystack respectable, maybe there's a top 5 in the cards?

Wrong again - it was De Angelis, who encountered a cruising Loris on the final chicane. If you'd watched what happened, you would have seen De Angelis sit up and start gesticulating, in the process Talmasci nearly ploughed into the back of him - it was very close. So granted, what Loris did unintentionally was bad, but what De Angelis did intentionally was ten times worse.
 
Found elsewhere in another forum is a post by Kropotkin who many (myself included) consider fair and well respected (post - http://www.advrider.com/forums/showpost.ph...p;postcount=28)

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>He ran across Gibernau. Gibbers was on the racing line and speeding up, hoping to get a tow from Stoner. But he was on the racing line just after Hoge Heide, which is a 265 km/h flick, and very, very scary, without some ..... sitting on the racing line. It was the fourth time that weekend that it had happened to Stoner, and he complained bitterly that Race Direction weren't doing their job.


Based on this it sounds that Stoner has very valid reasons to comment.

after his continued illness, it seems that the only diagnosis is that he has <strike>whine</strike> er swine flu

but seriously, he looked ready to blow chunks again during his parc ferme interview with matt roberts so congrats to all the riders and a big weel done to vale.

But so worth it!

What a race by Hayden, what ever they did to that bike is paying off, I'd say.
