I new the usuals could not read and understand my critic of the moves. I see how much have latched on and said its legal as if somebody said it was not. But its a common tactic of debate with those who have nothing, that is to project and say something that has not been said, then try to argue that point. Dirty doesn't mean illegal! And yes Chops, pretending not to have read the thread, in case you missed it, I'm saying others should employ this tactic with more frequency (especially non teammates, but you didn't get the quip). I did say they are legal and I did say its fine, as Hayden basically said it was just hard racing. The thing you guys can't understand is its a desperation tactic. Nobody is willing to go ... for tat and barge into the inside and then because one can't hold the line have to run the other wide. Its dirty. Anybody who can't see the kind of tactic that it is, is not only an ..... but blinded. It appears most other riders are not willing to resort to this tactic. As far as being able to do it, I think most of these top riders have the capacity, I don't think that's the problem. More should do it if they feel its not undermining their own integrity.

All im going to say is nicks pass was nicer than rossi's

stop getting your knickers all in a bunch

I thought nicking rode like a real racer by answering back at Rossi's pass. Kudo's to him.

Agree. Didn't I tell you that Rossi was free to .... with anybody else except Nicky?

I did say it was a dirty pass and I will stand my ground on this. I actually don't even have a problem with it the pass because it is legal but what pisses me off is that Rossi who is supposedly the greatest of all time and by all historical accounts has earned that title continually uses these tactics. He's a better rider than most of the guys out there and could beat them racing clean but he chooses to use tactics that noone else is willing to use. I say he's better than this in his skills but he is not better in this as a person. So some may argue that this is what makes him better than most because he's willing to go further to win than everyone else but after watching how ....... good he is for 10 years now I don't believe that.

Go back a few weeks to Nickys pass on Lorenzo for a podium at Aragon. I saw nothing wrong with the pass and it appeared to be clean but Nicky comments after the race were that it was a hokey backyard pass you should only use on your brothers. Clearly there is an unwritten etiquette that most of us are not privy to. The problem is noone else but Rossi is willing to race below these standards.

Agree and disagree to a point, yes Nicky does wear his heart on his sleeve and is a little more human than the competitors mentioned. But the part about his voice quivering and on the verge of crying, don't think so. Not sure what the temperature was at the end of the race, but after riding a hard race and sweating like crazy in your leathers, then stopping acdtivity in cool weather, your body is shaking and it's hard to speak, I've experienced the same thing many times after racing motorcross or bmx, can't say a damn thing and sound like I'm about to cry. This of course is just my opinion, but I don't think there are any cry babies in MotoGP, these are pretty tough dudes.



As far as the race, thought it was a bit boring except Rossi, Hayden, Spies, and Simmocelli.



And Johnny Knockdown threw in his line and a lot of you bit...shame on you Johnny. And I'll go back and look, but I don't think Jumkie ever said Rossi put a dirty move on Hayden. Like Nicky was quoted as saying after the race, good hard racing, nothing more.

Johnny K makes a good point. If Rossi's so great - why can't he pass Haystack without banging into him?
