It wasn't Dani being pig-headed. Its Honda's policy, Honda do not encourage team orders. Therefore he was doing what Honda asked of him and what Honda payed him to do. Any more arguments?
 
unbelieveable!! speechless!!! cant really say anything more than that!!

have to agree with rossi though.. Elias rode like a devil!! fantastic racing from him. your right teo, him sliding his way round was quality!!

dunno what to say about the whole dani/hayden thing. i know there's gonna be a hell of a lot said about it on here though!!
 
How did ya figure that one out Matt?

IR I don't think honda is paying him for distroying the championship
<
he should have kept his head cool and think FOR honda, not for himself and his position in the championship. a bit like what edwards was doing for rossi.

but on the other hand, if teammates are going to help eachother like that, it's not fun racing anymore. it reminded me of the 125cc race last year of kallio finishing before talmasci...

agree.
 
Anyway, right or wrong, we will hear something from HRC probably, I want to see which side they are going to take.....we all knew that their favorite next year would've been be Dani...lets see after this...

Pedrosa incident:
Regardless of him being his teammate, no team orders, and Championship contender, Pedrosa, was acting in a hot head mode, fi it were the beggining of the season, like with elias an rossi, ok, it was a mistake (thinking with his hot head), but at the deciding race ??, to his own teammate ??, ok, so people say its like if they were to teams apart, but you don't risk an other riders race, just becouse he wants to show off, Nicky did it in the previouse lap, but he did it on the outside, on a safe move, yeah, they had to correct the trayectory, but no one was at risk.

What pedrosa did was just irresponsable.

Great race for Rossi, and especially for Tony, it was like he had something to prove, hahaha, thats the way he should always race, i mean, thats the way Rossi always races, so it's the most apropiate way if you want to win.

I wonder what happened to Nakano, he was kind of banged up!!!

GO DOVIIIIIII

It'll still be Dani, he's a more talented rider than Haystack & will suit 800's more. & to all who whinge about it,t o ..... about Dani is wrong, he's tried a pass & it's gone bad, ..... about Honda not having team orders if ya want

yeah I knew it was one of them blowing the championship for the other away, didn't remembered which order it was
<
 
<
Wooo Hooo
<
what a race! Did anyone else want to throw up? I thought it would be pants after Dani and Hayden crashed and burned but no, KRJRMcJunior (admittedly profiting from other crashes) moving up the order, almost winning! ha ha) Elias..........INSPIRED RIDING. It doesn't get much better than that or maybe it does? roll on the final race.

You gotto admit no-one would want to be dani right now! Gutted for Hayden, but that's MOTOGP the best racing in the world by a long way!!!!

Would someone kindly find the link for the topic last year after Kallio and Talmaschi's incident?
 
>Ben enters forum<

I'll add my 10p about this superb race later.

First, I thought - huh, I'll just log onto the site and see if anyone has put up a race thread yet, just to make sure it says spolier.........what greets me? % pages of talk and 50 users online - 90% appear to be viewing this thread! - outrageous, race was only and hour ago!!!
<

Some point - I'll have to close the site for the league update - be warned!

Nice race though
<
 
I'm still stunned! When Hayden first overtook Pedrosa I had a bad feeling that they'd soon take each other out. Then VOILA! It happened! He'll never hear the end of it now. Poor guy. Race became boring after the crash out and I went to hang the washing lol.
<


I love Rossi but I was wishin he'd place 2nd or lower so Hayden will still be given a chance to fight for it. Then comes ELIAS! Then ROBERTS! Woohoo! Last few laps almost gave me a heart attack! Dropped the washing and glued my eyes back to the tv.

Forget F1. MotoGP effin ROCKS!

Ben, I kinda made a promise that I'd change my name to "Elias's Number 1 Fan" if he won..... could you do the honours?

Talmasci was furious!
