Rossi's crashes

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (J4rn0 @ Jun 30 2008, 12:43 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>I think it's simply because he often crashes in apparently "stupid" ways, at low speeds, so the bike does not get too damaged. Then he goes into a rage over his own stupid mistake and pulls the bike up, starts it and finishes the race usually matching the lap times of the winner (but of course way behind). That's Rossi. He's lost a world title in that way...

That is exactly it, & I thnk that is what he shares with Bayliss in that respect, a furious anger.

and some guys couldn't adjust when just a camera hangs from the bike....
lol i think i am going to be murdered now for uttering this.


Good point! You have to laugh at some of the ..... that the Rossi haters and the unfeasibly stupid write on here or you would just leave the forum.

What Rossi did achieve, (apart from crashing), is that even with a damaged bike, and no chance of big points, he' was still one of the fastest guys out there on track. Stoner rode a blinder of a race again, once he'd passed Pedrosa, it was game over, not the most exciting way to win, but an awesome display all the same.

Except in this case.
At the end of lap 1, Rossi was 29 seconds behind Stoner.
At the finish, Rossi was 59 seconds behind Stoner.

At the start of this race, Rossi, never the greatest of starters, knew that he had to be with Stoner and hope for a tow. But it never would have happened.
Stoner was too fast this race, as at Donnington.
Even if Rossi had made a good start, I think Stoner would have just ridden away from him.

edit to add.
I was a great Rossi fan, and still admire him for his riding and achievements, but being an Ozzie I am naturally going to support the Oz riders, which is easy to do when there is one so talented as Stoner.
So back in 2006 when I was feeling so sorry for Rossi with his bad luck, I was looking down the sheets and was mightily impressed by what Stoner was doing in his first season in the class.
I am not a fanboy or a hater. I just am in awe of the great skill of these top class rider.
So I even have some time for Pedrosa. He sure can move that Honda.
 
Most racers will continue after an accident if possible, its fairly standard practice. If i remember correctly CV rode a fastest lap after being taken down in Turkey last year.
 
IF stoner was not on the grid, or with stoner was not setting 1:36 lap times in practice, rossi would not of pushed it as hard as he did on the first lap. thats pressure.

just like in 06 valencia, if hayden did not make the comments such as, "i'm am going to win or bin it". "i am goin all in" rossi knew he needed top3 to gaurantee himself of winning the championship. he then dumped it. thats pressure.

How can you say never!! the only never is that we never had a race between the two

I do believe that Stoner could have gone faster if Rossi had been there to push him and I agree with you he would have gotten away from him but whats your post got to do with the topic

Now the thread had turned into the usual Stoner V's Rossi ........

yeah with a 1:54.026 but finished - 26.249. googleman.

i think what impressed peeps at assen was how he battled and passed marco and elias with a busted up bike. theres a lot of riders that would have just retired rather than run at the back. now one would have questioned it looking at that gear lever. same in 06 at valencia. he ran round in dead last with no hope of catching anybody.

I think you got it wrong dude.

He was 30 sec after first lap but when he started to lap on a similar pace (i.e. after adjusting his riding style to damaged bike, he was 40 odd sec behind stoner). And then at the end of the race he was 46 secs behind stoner. So in anycase he wud have had a comfortable 2nd.

It means he still is the fastest apart from Stoner (who did an amazing race). Well we can say what if he is not broken the bike and went on, but i am not speculating that.

The 59 secs belonged to MM. I hope he goes back to Honda again.

in all honestly his "broken" bike wasnt really broken. ok it wasnt optimal, but in practice he showed he was no where near stoner. he would of been fighting out for 2nd at best

I think you will find stoner has actually crashed several times in practice sessions. And it is only rossi's first crash of the season race wise.

Will you just shut up, there are many threads that are on topic where you can voice your idiotic views about the race

I can't recall anyone mentioning Stoner in this thread apart from the few select Stoner fans

granted but as i said stoner hasn't crashed out of a race on the ducati. if you crash out of practice you just ride it to the pits, you dont try and put in a fast lap after like in a race.
