especially after what Rossi got away with in jerez and not a ....... word about a penalty for him

2 wrongs dont make a right

 

[BarryMachine]

Does make you wonder. To hand out a ride through like that before looking at all the evidence is stupid. Did dani let off his brakes to try and run simoncelli wide? we dont know ands neither does Paul Butler because again he goes off half cocked.

Oh so now Paul Buttler didn't look at all the evidence

Your [ost does seem a tad hypocritical Reg.

Did you mean it that way?

 

[Pinky]

Simoncelli… something we were afraid happened. The racing direction finally reacted, but it was bit too late. I hope Dani recovers soon.

sideshow bob does it again.... ironically sic will be the overall winner out of this in 2012.... taking dani' seat at HRC

Looked to me Sic was trying to go on outside to hav inside for next turn but Dani stood up not knowing Sic was there. When was last time we saw a drive through penalty?

Terrible decission for the ride through on Marco, but a good race all round. GoooOOO ValentinooOOOOOO!!!!!!!

 

[stop_killing_dead_things]

That's two collarbones Pedro has broken which were not his own fault. Poor dude.

....... Simoncelli.

They were remiss at Jerez - but that shouldn't stop them from learning from their mistakes.



Re: "evidence" it only takes 5 seconds to watch the replay and see what wreckless move that was.

They should have shaved his ....... head too.



What do you want to bet with Pedro injured that Dovi's bike starts to get faster?

 

[Mental Anarchist]

Spare a thought for Pedrosa. He is probably on route to the hospital right where he will have a general anaesthetic and have another plate inserted on his opposite collar bone. Then he will have a few weeks of sleepless nights and rehabilitation before trying to front up to race again in 2 weeks time. Why? Because some arrogant ...... can't race clean and makes a dive at the apex from the outside position without care for a fellow competitor.

 

[The California Kid]

Very bad move by Sic, poor Dani how much more punishment can his little body take?

Fortunately he has 3 weeks to get back into a reasonable shape. But definitely, now the championship is going to be uphill climb for him. Sic just proved that other guys are right about him. Jorge just showed he what a hypocrite he is about safe and non-contact racing

Thats what it looks like from the rear camera view. The front camera view shows marco in front and dani stand his bike up and appear to let off his brakes clipping marco. Race direction should look at all camera angles and get the bike onboard telemetry to get the whole picture before handing out punishments. Remember Motegi 05?

Yeah Lorenzo hasn't been mentioned much considering what a rash move he made.

Rog... what makes you think they didn't?

He's gonna be a cripple when he's older...

Rossi is on the same/slightly better pace as Jorge on one of JL's strong tracks. I think Ducati has almost caught up with Yam in speed (VR on the same pace as JL and Nicky on the same pace as Spies).

 

[Wander]

Well, that race at least had some real action.



There goes Pedrosa's chances for the championship. Too bad.



Wondering if Rossi can improve even further from here. Obviously had some luck, but good race nevertheless.

 

[bigbang]

Rossi was just asked about the accident and he basically said it was Simoncelli's mistake and Pedrosa couldn't do anything.

Agree.

Well at least Butler is consistent, consistenly helping Rossi. For me both were equally wreckless. But we cant judge intent, and according to Butler, thats what he suposedly bases his decisions on. He also set tone that moto racing is a contact sport. What was the message here? I think he rushed because after the race u cant do nothing.
