<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (#46 @ Jul 14 2008, 07:51 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Then why don't you just for once in a lifetime give Rossi an upperhand compliment ?..
Still not too late...I'm sure all of the guys here will appreciate that.

i have said on many occasions ........rossi, stoner and pedrosa are all top tier riders.... well above the talent of anyone else..... and on any given day, with setup, anyone of the can win. and you can add horhey to that group, once he gets over his injuries and gets more experience.

just rossi fans think that rossi is god and if anyone can beats rossi then it must not be done fairly, they have a better bike, better tires, computer controls the bike, and other stupid things i have ever heard.

Well, check out the replay and you will see that he had started going into the turn when the front went down. Not so much by the change in direction of the bike but the front wheel tucked in imediatly and it doesn't do that if you are in balance. Braking hard and turning in at the same time is just about as riskey as it gets, so they need a lot more than a 1% margine to even have the slightest hope of comming through the race.

To me it looked like an uncharacteristic but huge rider error from Pedrosa.

It was an in a way admirable but strange and uncharacteristic performance by dani. It was almost as if he was pissed off about everyone calling him a robot and decided to demonstrate he wasn't.

I guess he may have thought that rossi and stoner now have the edge on him technically, presuming that he doesn't think the pneumatic engine will help him, and hence he wanted to build on his championship lead in unusual conditions which gave him the possibility of doing so, but why try to extend rather than consolidate a 7 second lead?

ego ! he saw stoner win at assen by 10 secs which stoner himself said he could have easily won by another 10 secs if he wanted, so dani thought he would try and have his own dominating win. maybe caseys mind games worked on dani rather than rossi

It looked to me like many of the crashes that took place in practice. Like I said before Colin and Casey (and I think a few others) had very similar crashes in practice. They just lost the front. There was no warning and they just went down. Colin was even quoted as saying he had no clue why. Pedrosa's sounds to be the same thing.

No one is God on these bikes, Rossi, Stoner, Pedrosa have the best guys in their team and thats why they are first 3.

Rossi already proved hes god by winning titles on a 125, 250, 500, motogp pre electronics.
