Earlier in the year I asked wether Stoner was fast because of the Ducati or despite it.
We know now.

Simo is dangerous at the moment ! Like all rookies in this class, he needs to settle. Lorenzo went through it and is now consistent and fast and a real threat.
If Simo cut my apex from a wide outside approach and took my front wheel out, it would take more than a broken collar bone to stop me tearing him a new ars.ole afterward in the pits!
His riding tactics are being questioned at the moment by multiple riders and with good reason.
I'm no Pedrosa fan, even though he is an awesome rider, and he didn't deserve an off and another injury when he was in a good points position by a reckless passing move. Simo's stunt has cost Pedrosa a real chance of a crack at the championship!
For those that dont agree, go look at some real racing and quality riders..... Joey Dunlop, John McGuiness, Wayne Rainy, Christian Sarron, Mick Doohan, Guy Martin.......none of them did that shit!

You need to take on moves likes this otherwise you will never win. Without him in that race it would have been utterly dull. I but Puig has something to do with that ride through. Also where is the consistency? Rossi on Stoner, Lorenzo on Dovi.....

I look for level headedness in a rider and Stoner and Rossi have a good understanding of racing and what is appropriate behavior on the racetrack. Semicelli had a bunch of laps left and was clearly faster than Pedrosa. I watched Semincelli in a one off race on a Aprilia at Monza and he nearly took out Max Biaggi and Ben Spies in that race. Another chicane incidant. I do not know what chicane means in French or Italian but suffice it to say slow down may be a good guess.

reckless·ness n.
Synonyms: reckless, rash1, precipitate, foolhardy, temerarious
These adjectives mean given to or marked by unthinking boldness. Reckless suggests wild carelessness and disregard for consequences: "conceiving measures to protect the fur-bearing animals from reckless slaughter" (Getrude Atherton).
Rash implies haste, impetuousness, and insufficient consideration: "Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash" (George S. Patton).
Precipitate connotes headlong haste without due deliberation: "destroyed in a precipitate burning of his papers a few days before his death" (James Boswell).
Foolhardy implies injudicious or imprudent boldness: a foolhardy attempt to wrest the gun from the mugger.
Temerarious suggests reckless presumption: "this temerarious foeman who dared intervene between himself [the elephant] and his intended victim" (Edgar Rice Burroughs).
What gives Simoncelli the right to race differently to the other riders accepted practice?
You can call me an armchair racer, but if it weren't for the spectators and fans who support racing, there would be none!
