lets just hope all the bikes have all their fairings smashed to bits by the end of the season and a few of the top riders get a bit rattled
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Babelfish @ Apr 25 2007, 02:53 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>I watched that sequence time after time the day before yesterday and IMO it's quite clear that Pedrosa hit OJ. It happens right about frame 2 in that picture sequence. As far as I can see edwards is well outside of the two and only get's touched when OJ's bike is allready on a vild spin. Look at frame 3 where edwards is at a normal lean angle, only in frame four it looks like he is on his way down.
What these pitures doesn't show, and I couldn't catch a still on my VCR is the little twitch OJ's bike does as pedrosas' front hit him. The big higside "wobble" we see the start of in frame 3 is the rebound from the first one.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (roger-m @ Apr 25 2007, 03:34 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>thats how i saw it mate,i also saw pedrosas bike slow all of a sudden at about frame 2. as i said before tho im open minded and dont think any riders should be blamed including oj. but i glad others like yourself saw what i saw i was begining to think i was see'ing things
it will be interesting to hear whats officialy said about it at the next meeting in china.,
Here you go Roger and Fish, the missing frames you need I think! (Pedrosa touching Jaque before he hits Eduards)…

I like that about him..Exactly. It's like Haga coming to WSB in 98 and duffing up Fogarty and into the bargain he's got one of the most entertaining styles in GP's. I can't help but like the guy, it's how my head's wired, go for the underdog everytime. Is Elias championship material?...no but I couldn't care less.

Yeah, Casey tried to stick it to him in qualifying but Toni didn't give way. It was a little touch, nothing that hasn't happened before and it will obviously happen again.

I must admit that ariel pic suggests that there was contact between pedrosa and OJ first. However i would think hard before i said Pedrosa took OJ out, considering that Dani was on a normal line and in control of his bike and OJ was diving up the inside and was never going to make that turn. It was really just a case of who he would take down first.

i think it was a poor choice of words there on my part. as ive said in this thread ,i blame nobody,it was just hard racing. what i should have said was ,it looks like pedrosa and oj touched before the accedent which conferms what i thought i saw on eurosport while waching the race,
the race repete is on again in 10 mins so im going to watch it again.

I think that what we see in the other picture is that little twitch on OJ's bike. I could see it on the VCR with normal speed, a very quick movement, just before the big bounce. The bike does not have normal lean angle at that picture, rather standing up a little. As this one rebounds the real big highside arrives.

Don’t get us wrong Frosty, I don’t think it’s what we’re are trying to prove here, if you read while back that’s not our point, nor Roger’s, Fishes', Tom’s or mine. We are just pointing out that Pedrosa’s front did touch Jaque’s back before Eduards was taken out. If Jaque came in to strong and was going to catch up to Eduards anyway is another matter, ‘just a matter of time’ like Tom said. Or if Pedrosa didn’t realize that Jaque wasn’t going to make (nano seconds here) and just kept his line, in which, when Jaque lifted a bit, they touched. Or if Jaque felt a bit guilty and declared it. Or whatever like just a first lap bunch up. All are other matters; the only thing was to point out that they touched before Eduards was taken out.

I know it’s a bit late but I’ve been out of town. Plus, I want to post my take on the races before the next one. I’ll keep them brief. (Disclaimer, I didn’t read the comments on this thread, not that it matters, I’m sure everybody kept true to their inclinations, especially the mindless cheerleaders who undoubtedly where busy spining the results and post-race commentary).
1. Stoner-Brilliant
2. Elias-Superhero, Nice of him to treat the other riders as competitors, instead of prima donnas, like some think they are.
3. Capirossi-Fatherhood is treating him good. All balls on that last breaking move.
4. Barros-Not over the hill. But perhaps over the breaking reputation.
5. Melandri-I guess all that whining worked.
6. Hopkins-Hot girlfriends don’t get you podiums. But who cares when your banging a chick like that.
7. Hayden-Still struggling awfully, but top Michelin.
8. De Puniet-Kawasaki is in MotoGP?
9. Hofmann-Cracked a top ten, and managed to get some sponsorship air time.
10. Rossi-.... his tire due to that off track lapse, then sank after Elias kicked his ..., then cried about it, what a ...... Gracious?
11. Vermuelen-Man-Up Award, fastest lap after Pedrosa clips Jacques, etal take a .... on Edwards.
12-15 Checa, Nakano, Tamada, & Guintoli-Status quo. Move along, nothing to see here.
16. Roberts JR-killing me softly. You’re better than that.
(Vacation was sorta great. But a grip of work to catch up on when I came back. I hate to admit it, but I missed you guys on the forum--well most you guys.)
Now I got allot of reading to do.....

Welcome back Jumkie
You're right. He did make the right desition right then. Rossi were allready falling off and had little to offer in the chase of Stoner.
On the other hand, there are far too many hotheads out there who fight for 3rd or 5th or what ever, lap after lap, and loosing the posibility to fight for the real top spots (and destoying the excitement for the viewers). In that view positions can just as well be lost as earned by a unnesessarry and premature fight.

I wouldn't call "perfect" giving up the lead by going off track in the first lap causing micro lacerations to the tire which ultimatley hastened the tire demise.
But I do appreciate Rossi for trying to hang in there fighting the problem all the way to the end. That's the Rossi I like. He’s a fighter. But I was disappointed (to put it politely) with his post race comments. Perfect he is not, but definitely human.

Hey, what's up Babel. Nice to be back. I'm going back and reading the thread right now. (Just for the hell of it of course). Haha, I've run across some good posts so far. I know I'm super late, but it looks like everybody is getting ready to watch the race activities. So its a bit lonely on the forum.

It's funny to see Rossi whining like Biaggi, my tyres blah blah, Elías blah blah!
Now the Rossi fans will jump at my neck but I HAD to say it!
Worth repeating. Rossi made a bad situation worse by drawing more attention to himself with his whine. Man up.

was dissapointed in todays race specialy with elias for riding like a 3 year old on a tricycle geez if you got a line stick to it, rossi should have just gone into his garage and rammed a wrench up his backside. imagine elais done that on the first corner it would be A DISASTER.
until next time
Hahaha. This is the best post so far on this thread. (And I'm only on page three).
The World Wide Web doesn't have enough bandwith to respond. But thanks for the great laugh.
Perhaps we should just hand Rossi the championship, cancel the season, and the rest should all go home. Would that make you feel better?

I'm pretty sure Elias was trying to win. Why else would he lay it all on the line for position. Its not like he was settling, Stoner was just that good.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (teomolca @ Apr 22 2007, 11:45 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>"I'm quite unhappy with Elias today because I think he was quite dangerous"
Sob sob, go crying to mommy Vale.
It's funny to see Rossi whining like Biaggi, my tyres blah blah, Elías blah blah!
Now the Rossi fans will jump at my neck but I HAD to say it!
Worth repeating. Rossi made a bad situation worse by drawing more attention to himself with his whine. Man up.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (jazkat @ Apr 22 2007, 12:16 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>stoner is just on a lucky streek, wont be long before he starts smashing ducati's up into tiny pieces, he had the track to himself while everyone behind was battling it out obvious he was gonna ride to victory, rossi has bad luck following him around again but he will pull it back im sure.
was dissapointed in todays race specialy with elias for riding like a 3 year old on a tricycle geez if you got a line stick to it, rossi should have just gone into his garage and rammed a wrench up his backside. imagine elais done that on the first corner it would be A DISASTER.
until next time
Hahaha. This is the best post so far on this thread. (And I'm only on page three).
The World Wide Web doesn't have enough bandwith to respond. But thanks for the great laugh.
Perhaps we should just hand Rossi the championship, cancel the season, and the rest should all go home. Would that make you feel better?

Who knows. I was loving his scrapping until he went back behind Hayden. He totally should have been on the podium. I love the guy but he's killing me.
Welcome back Jumkie, i hope you are well. I've been holding the fort as best i can but as can see some of these mindless lot are pretty persistent!

Stoner just on a lucky streak?? yeah right, Stoner is using skill to win these races and hes doing a brilliant and mature job this year.
Worth repeating.

Yes, I see you've been very busy. Haha. Excellent.

Nice. That about sums it up. I was thinking the same thing.

Hi Rog, whats hanging? Apart from your spining of Rossi's comments, I agree with you on this one. It looks like Pedrosa clipped OJ. It may or may not have been his fault though. It just looks like too many bikes tried to be in the same space.

What a crappy day!
Hi Burky buddy. Sorry to hear about your bike. I own a Ducati...I know all about break downs. I'm sure you finally got around to seeing the race. I'll look out for your comments.

Hi Pete, I missed you buddy.
Haha, nice of you to mix in a great reason to deflect and rationalize Rossi being a cry baby, ungracious ..... last race. Oh, I see, win some championships and you can throw a child temper tantrum, its ok, as long as you have a few trophies. I'll be sure to take a page from your idea of what make a decent professional the next time I'm giving advice about the qualites of integrity to the kids.
