Le - Mans Race Thread

Well you'd be the worst person to recommend such a thing Reg. ........ what with your liberal threats to punch Casey out a few years ago

Pretty fair comment by roger on this occasion barry, although like gaz I don't have much problem with gestures as opposed to actual hand/foot contact.

If indeed Lorenzo isn't able to score a good result, this can be a great chance for Hondas, especially Pedrosa and Stoner.

really? captain obvious. LOL

Good stuff so far, well done to Marquez for the win. Shame Iannone came off, would have been good to see what he could do today. Hope the rain stays away for the big race! Will Jorge have a bike to swap 2 if it comes to that?

San Carlo should give Aoyama the factory bike going on those results.

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

Duude - do not post results here from another race! This is the MotoGP thread.

Just pointed that out on this thread in respect the 125's, but hthe guy you replied to is one of those members that doesn't read anyone other posts bar his own so went and ruined the Moto2 race for many as well.



I hate the fact that Eurosport lost the live rights in 2009 and that I have to wait until later this afternoon to watch the main race. Still, I'd sooner do that than have the entire race ruined by Parish and Cox - and there's BSB at Croft to watch in the meantime.

Looking forward to this.

Read it then!!!



As has already been pointed out 'race' in the singular sense. There are other threads dedicated to 125 and Moto2 so that those that have to rely on highlights don't get the results spoiled.

Far out, Caset Stoner just punched de Puniet in the warm up!!



Here I am waiting for the race, and read about it now.



Will there be any penalties other than the fine??

Er yeah, we know

 

[Keshav]

Should have been watching it live - to hear the roar of a French crowd as Stoner punched the French rider.

Stoner's testosterone levels a bit too high?

 

[frizzle]

Er yeah, we know

Lol it was his first post so I decided to say nothing.

But it wouldn't have hurt to read the other 6 pages on this thread.

 

[akeizm]

Probably someone trying to get hits up on their site?

I just watched a replay of the incident on One HD.

Bautista & RDP were initially on the racing line having a mothers club meeting,

Bautista stayed on it so Stoner moved to the right, but RDP moved to the right directly in front of him.

If both of those riders had been well away from the racing line no incident would have occured.

Stoner had nowhere to go.

Stoner can be thankful he only got a 5000 euro fine. RDP & Bautista got off without anything which is unacceptable.

Haga on the Aprilia in 2003.

Went to wiki to check and Nakano had the Kawasaki ride after that... But those weren't very competitive factory rides anyway, were they?

I am so very sorry, in fact, i've finned myself 5000 euros for my mistake.
