Wow, what a fantastic last 2 laps, I dont think rossi did anything wrong, I can understand Seti being pissed off, who would have thought Rossi could pull it off. Makes a great start to what is going to be an amazing season
 
There really was nothing dirty about it, simply an incredibly aggressive pass. The only possible bad news for Rossi is that Sete is Spanish, so are the powers that be in MotoGP. The last time someone put an aggressive move on Gibernau (Tamada, Motegi 2003) he got DQ'd. But would MotoGP really do that to their golden son? Doubtful. On a personal note, had Nicky not crashed I'm looking at a perfect podium prediction. If only he could improve on his 3 finishes in his last 7 starts number...
 
Sorry but in my humble opinion rossi tried to take a line that was not there and he should be disqualified,yes i know about racer's touching but that move could have turned out a lot worse, and they would have thrown the book at him,rossi knew on that last corner over the start finish line straight, that he would not have got the drive to the line cos that bike is not as quick as the honda out of the turn's,and gibenau would have stole it on the line,cheap trick's dont become him and what was the bit where he was sticking his leg out ??golden boy or not if i had have been gibber's i would have decked him[did you here the crowd when he was on the podium booing him,reality check not everyone likes you rossi

anyway look's like gibber's was happy with the bike[sans chatter] so lets see what happen's in Portugal

Wow!!! Those last 4 laps was simply stunning...and the best thing is now is that there will be more of a rivalry between Rossi & Sete!!

I was getting a bit worried that it was a bit of a procession for places 1 & 2....it was a really tatical race till it EXPLODED on those last laps! It was really edge of the seat stuff, real motorsport racing at its best! The fact that Rossi made a few errors, then pulled it back was superb riding. I did think Sete could have attacked more...he needs more aggression in my opinion.

As far that last maneuver.....well, Rossi was a cheeky little thing but I put this down as a racing incident and believe it was legit.

I missed the podium cause bloody BBC decided it wasnt worth showing

Points to chat about:

Sete going for an Oscar with his sore arm in the parc ferme!!! What was all that about!

Sete & Rossi playing...who can stare each other out was a classic!

Shame about Hyden...was looking good.

Nakano......great ride!

Roll on Sunday!

Rossi lady, I don't think anyone here will question the fact that Rossi is the most talented rider in the series and questionably of all time. However, just because he is 6 time World Champion Valentino Rossi does not excuse him from any and all mistakes. I'm not saying it was a cheap shot or anything, but it was a bit aggressive. In my opinion, he should have found a better way 'round than that "line". This win would have been a hell of a lot more respectable to the rest of the world had he not pushed Sete into the kitty litter.

I cant believe the team released this:

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>Sete Gibernau Begins a Physiotherapy Rehabilitation Treatment
Monday, April 11, 2005 - Movistar Honda

After the Spanish GP race, Sete flew to Barcelon. This morning he underwent a special medical visit to verify the conditions of his left shoulder, an especially weak shoulder that has already undergone two surgeries. Here below is the medical report.

Following the contact made during the final lap of yesterday’s Spanish GP, the rider, Sete Gibernau, has acquired a lesion to the rotatory caps of his left shoulder and to the tendon which will require rest and a treatment of anti inflammatory and analgesic treatment. His participation in the next race as of now is still in doubt.

Sete Gibernau has already begun a treatment of physiotherapy rehabilitation in order to recuperate the use of his shoulder and perfect physical form as quickly as possible.
 
if John Reynold's can ride with a leg that has been broken in 3 places only a month ago,let's see if he give's it a go ?

i sory if i affended any1 i really didn't mean it but there is nothing in the rules tht said u r not allowed to do this. ok sete mite b ok but only ok but i stil h8 him and i really i'am sorry bout tht and i hope his arm gets betta !!!

it was an awesome pass.

it was a different story last year at qutar when gibernau grassed on rossi for doing burn outs on his grid and SETE grassed but whn rossi does something to him every1 has abig go at him.
but can we forget bout everything plz and move on.

i'am sorry !!!!!

From your post's i think everyone know's you are mad about rossi have you tried this link rossi_rules_46 for his official fan club, and on there you will meet people like yourself who love him
<
good luck !

official rossi fan club !
 
Not to be mean but just for clarification purposes. Everytime Rossi does something that should be frowned on he is usually excused for it because of who he is.
 
Yes he will be excused for it, he is Dorna's PR machine,and what they fear if they upset him that he may decide to leave,he would never take the popularity with him the sport has at the moment,but would probably take a big mouthful,but when he ....'s up official's should not be shy to come down on him !but it will probably not happen.But imagine an other senario, Gibenau had of been injured for real,say a highside they would of had to act !

<span style="font-family:Arial<span style="font-size:36pt;line-height:100%<span style="color:redApparently, Seti's mother is going to be a all future races, so that if he falls off or hurts his arm, she can kiss it better for him.
