He didn't hit him in the head with torque wrench... not even once.
Who was it saying Ducati wouldn't podium all year? That was a foolish prediction
lol...
It really matters not, because its really more about stoner having a rep for moaning, and this not helping that image.
When someone comes and aknowledges their mistake and apologises......show some class and take it and move on.
Humility is a likeable thing.
Honestly, there is no reason to argue with anybody saying nothing was wrong with Rossi's pass or a variation of it. This was not a simple racing incident. Yes its raining, so this is when you pass with more care, Spies put on a clinic on this today (he crashed out and only effected himself, but was very careful to pass Pedro). That pass is NOT just a mistake. They are all human and make mistakes sure, but not every screw up can be categorized as just human error. Its delusional as Alberto Puig blaming Nicky when Pedro torpedoed him. In both occasions, it was simply the result of a man who is blind by jealous arrogance, and I'll ad cowardice. At very least Rossi went in to apologize, unlike Pedro. Though Vale not taking off his helmet was chickenshit. Again, there will be a lot of Boppers trying to split hairs on the DeAnglesk pass attempt, but you will convince nobody with basic sanity.
I'd like for all the members who talked .... about Toni Elias in 2006 (who are still here) to denounce Rossi with the same vigor.

I noticed stoner was on his back foot retreting while he is laying on the insults. Hardly to rossis face like a man was it. Rossi helmet arguement is lame.
So im supposed to try and dig back to find that race of old because of today? rather than harp on the past id rathe you lot watch the race again but this time without your girly emotions blinding you to the facts. Banging on about past races proves nothing about today.
The whole point is that the attitude to rossi doing these things, and not just from the delusional among his fans, is different; cf the attempts of you and others on this thread to somehow make this stoner's fault, whereas rossi's punch or attempted punch of biaggi shows what a guy he is.

Its a good thing Stoner didn't take out Rossi
Well; Stoner did... He knew that Rossi was close; then initiated a breaking a 'tad' early to force Rossi to pass him; then tighten the line as he knew by experience the Ducati's front would not stand the trajectory... Unfortunately mis-calculated he was; taken by his own plan in the same time....
He tried the same at Laguna; hoping that Rossi would pull straight at his braking....
Damn racing; you could explain it 1,000's ways differently but you all made me laugh

The world according to Rob.

It's what's known as spotting a pattern. With Rossi - it's history repeating itself, ad nauseum.
Or as we say in the States... three strikes and yer out!
Don't let your manliness and over-supply of testosterone
overwhelm your intellect, or your ability to see things objectively.
You don't think he was being sarcastic? I think he was sarcastically implying that Rossi was going to blame the mistake on his shoulder. I agree though if Rossi was remotely sincere he should have taken off his helmet and gone to see Stoner privately.
