Well you don't see Russians selling Vegemite do you. I always think its a bit odd when Repsol hires non-spanish riders. Though to their credit when Stoner signed they did try and sell oils here.

Just like in the late nineties, when Mick was on a Repsol painted bike, the likes of Ron Angel or one of the other importers of marginal muddaboik bits started bringing in boxes of the stuff. Which sold badly. Snagged some free gearbox oil though.
No they didn't.

I am well aware that it is a long bow, which is why I didn't post it previously. However since someone making the opposite argument saw fit to use violence against women as an analogy, I saw no reason for further restraint.
Contact not due to any error of Dani's and due to MM either being too close for no good reason, or (less likely but more deserving of criticism) an unfeasible overtaking move took Dani out of the race and finished his remaining hopes for the championship, if we are to stick to the concrete and GP bike racing. It was not really in MM's control whether he hit the cable or the back wheel a few inches away in any case. As I have said, I wouldn't have penalised him for this particular incident because he tried to avoid collision after his error and almost succeeded. Dani is entitled to be annoyed though imo.

No sorry but they did ( Try to market it here when Stoner was racing on their team ) ....... I did not mention what they did in Doohans days as I was unsure, even though it reinforces my point.
I did not proffer that the Stoner episode was the first as you may be asserting.

With my one addition I agree with you completely michael. The real issue of the whole smozzle to me is the repeat offender aspect. If MM ever had another Wilairot-like incident, or choped another front wheel like he did to ?Espagaro? I'd say ban the ...... for a year, his recent transgressions say to me his IS maturing... Maybe his ambition outweighs his (prodigious) talent! LOL!

They said 80k on tv. They also said thats a lot more than it draws for F1. They said when motogp first went to sepang there were only around 5k spectators and this 80k crowd shows how the sport is explodong in popularity there.
