Further beatty calls the yamaha as better tahnt he ducati & ergo, lorenzo should have finished in front of rossi.

Again ......... Lorenzo has an injured hand ........ he did it in warm up ........ had he not had an injured hand I would think he would have been up there with Stoner. I don't get these desperate attempts to compare Rossi with Lorenzo here? whats it all about?

 

[Pinky]

now can lorenzo say "........... i told u so"

Beatty also reckons rossi is 5 or 6 races away from consistenly fighting for a podium.

Beattie, another tired ex-racer who's lost lost his mental edge from too many concussions. He should just STFU.



His remark regarding the Yamaha is equally ignorant. Lorenzo having lost his main bike to the crash

was out on the secondary bike with an injured wrist. He did as well as could be expected.

Not sure Beatty is actually saying all this

after 2 racers in front up to .5 secds per lap faster crashed/ride thru... yeah he was fighting for a "virtual" podium

Not my opinion baz, just repeating beatty comments for the international forum members.

Looking at the replay, I did find myself saying, "Whoa! Why did Pedrosa stand the bike up?" Seems to me if he was sticking to his line he'd have stayed leaned over and if Simoncelli really was interfering with his line Pedrosa would have hit him underneath, not the way he did.



But second guessing is always easy after the fact.

Well I'm about to watch what Beatty said again ......

 

[gumby1]

I totally agree with mental something should of & needs to be done about riders going slowly on the racing line but what stoner didi should be shat on from a great height - YOU DO NOT DO THAT ON TRACK, you give a slap in the pits straight after. And to think people crucified Max for having a happy slap with rossi years ago.



.... if a rider did that in the uk he would be disqualified from the whole damn event!



He moans that other rides are dangerous - take a long look at yourself you prick.

wow, yeah because randy de crashalot didnt do anything wrong by crawling along the middle of the track eating his croissant and actually looked over his left shoulder to see casey coming at pace so he brilliantly thinks (clearly the man is a superstar in the making, who else can manage to crash as often as he does) ah i,ll wander over onto the race line at a third of caseys pace and when he overtakes me he,ll tow me around and i will watch his lines..

casey should have taken him out right there. Darryl Beattie said in commentary

that from a racers point of view randy de crashalot did the wrong thing by coming across on casey and casey went to easy on him, he said he should also hit him when he,s got his helmet off ! it was dangerous of randy and thats that.

did it affect the race outcome, no.. shock horror randy crashed, AGAIN, and casey smoked em, again.

Cheers

Indeed. When did a Japanese rider last have a factory bike anyway?

Nakano 2006

Pedro had to stand the bike up because Simo had cut in front of him

You really need to get away from your computer and actually attend your first actual live race.

Perhaps then you will begin to be a tad less clueless.

How does me attending a race change these



1. You guys said Rossi was dangerous when he went deep into Qatar turn 1 even though he didn't touch ayone

2. Now you are saying lap1 contact is fine??

3. The move by JL happened at the end of lap 1 which is no way as chaotic as the start.



May be you guys need to stop racing and attend logic/reasoning/common sense 101s during weekends

UPDATE:

I was wrong. The move by JL happened on the 2nd lap. So much for thefirst lap theories

 

[cangaceiro99]

Yeah this happened last time i typed out that stoner interview, everyone said i was typing ........ until i could post the scan. Believe, dont believe, anyonein oz watching channel 10 can confirm.

u fucken blind? you didnt see tire marks on Sic's leathers.... u try stay leaned over with your front tire rubbing against another rider... .......

 

[stiefel]

Except JL's crash during the WU, I don't think Yamaha had any problems other than being comprehensively smoked by Honda

I realize this is a time for you to be happy about the result and I'm not trying to piss on your parade. But looking at the last races, Yamaha isn't that far off the Honda's, so I'd say you can't count on Lorenzo being down 20 seconds+ every time. Ducati, on the other hand, are gap-wise not much closer than they were before.

You seem to forget that a day of testing happened after the Estoril race where Honda tested a number of updates. May be Yamaha fell back?

In terms of actually comprehending how racing works - it is experientially like the difference between

having real ... and internet .....



When I read your comments on racing I find myself wincing.

It's like listening to a 12 year-old virgin lecture adults about the finer points of ........

 

[dwoodhouse]

BTW - Nick Harris said one of the riders described Rossi on the Ducati as "an old lady with a shopping cart." Anybody know which rider?

I thought Rossi said it about himself.

 

[Evolution]

I want him to say "this is racing". Isn't this what he said when he essentially pulled the same .... on Stoner? Didn't he just tell us riders afraid of contact are .......? You don't see the contradiction, do you. Check yourself for color blindness below. What color do you see buddy?

Butler will retire this year, so he's desperate to help Rossi. He can be credited with VR's podium. Have a nice day, I got .... to do.

Ha ha. Another master piece of BS. The move from Simoncelli was not even close to that of Rossi, Simo came from the outside and basically blocked Dani. And he did not fall, which was the reson Stoner crashed.

And if anything, the punishment to Simo helped Lorenzo the most, to minimize the points loss to Stoner.
