Did Pedrosa kick Stoner?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (TP70 @ Jul 14 2007, 08:58 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Firstly I don't rate Pedrosa. He has had it all handed to him on a platter. He can't ride in the wet. I his weight advantage could have had an impact on his speed especially in the smaller classes.

He started in a very similar position to Casey Stoner and earnt everything he got from there, the 125 class has combines weight so he got no advantage and his size is as big of a disadvantage as his weight is advantage so i wouldn't rave on about that as if its the reason he is a 3 time world champion. Also he can ride well in the wet now.

And Bayliss or Toseland better than Pedrosa ppffft.
 
You're right Tom, my mistake

And TP70, I think Pedrosa has proven that he is capable of racing in the wet this year, he's done it a few times now and set fast times.

Bayliss is God!
 
Stupid incident and damn dangerous.If memory serves me right ,one of the DuHamels and Scott Doohan had a donkey match and it resulted in one of them being seriously injured a good few years ago.....anyway if someone wants to trawl the archives ,it`s there somewhere.

Phil

I haven't found one but i watched my tape of Fridays session and it was nowhere near a kick. Whichever Ducati it was got in Dani's way when he was on a hot (red splits) lap, and he kicked his foot out in frustration at the rider, but there was roughly a meter between them.
 
It happened in the 250 practise also if you look at the highlight video on motogp.com. This is happening a lot lately. Guys are hanging around on the racing line for the last few minutes of practise just ....... around doing practise starts and yakking. Happened on the qualifying sessions more than a few times. I'd be pissed also if someone was on the line while I was trying to get a hot lap in but it was only a gesture. If Dani kicked anyone he'd be the one to go flying.
