Rossi's move on Nicky was legal. And typical of his brand of racing.
About the reaction on the thread:
What the ....! Not surprising, all this reaction over one very simple perspective: that one man can do no wrong. Look here, all this response is to basically JK and myself saying Rossi resorted to a desperate dirty move. That’s it. That’s right folks; we did NOT say it was unfair or illegal. Nobody crashed or taken to the grass, right? So why the overreaction? Answer: The overreacting by flustered defenders have exaggerated the characterization to pad their own empty argument; that is they can only accept that Rossi is incapable of moves characterized other than perfect, precise & in goodfaith. Geez, talk about obsession.
Talpa, Rossiofsky, and Factory, I don’t have enough Internet space to tell you just how wrong you boys are today.
You guys just can’t stand for somebody to characterize Rossi’s move other than perfect. Take a look at your replies, you are arguing nothing other than trying to convince peeps these were not desperate moves. You guys dismiss this idea of professional etiquette, but in the same breath discount others for similar ..... BTW, take a look at the post race podium interview, listen to your boy complain about his bike. I’m sure you didn’t notice it, but yes, he is capable of complaining similar to the .... you guys claim about Stoner. In the end, Nicky didn’t complain about the move. Unlike Rossi did when referring to Elias. Perhaps you may want to cut & past everything you guys have said here and direct all your overreaction to VR’s fan club email, since everything you guys have said here applies.
Whether you guys want to accept it or not, there is racing etiquette. Rossi himself aluded to it when he complained about Elias' move at Trukey. You guys just believe only Rossi has never overstepped that unwritten racing professionalism. That's what you guys are desperate to argue. That's what this thread has become about. Yes, the racing was spectacular, no doubt. And its also ok to characterize a move as desperate to decide the podium. Its part of the discussion, except in the minds of some.
