If Stoner was lying under his and Rossi's bike and the marshalls had helped Rossi get away first you and he might have something to bleat about.
Shouldnt have thought Stoner invented the line 'Your ambition outweighed your talent' either I imagine he has heard it said to him on numerous occasions when he has made an unforced error and crashed out.
Either way the big winner was that smug spanish spoilt kid Whoregay.

The whole incident did make me laugh!
I recon Rossi left his helmet on when he went to see Casey in case he did a Biaggi on him and gave him a slap!

Rain being the great equalizer gave the Ducati's the chance to move up.
Cooler heads prevailed
If there was a moment that helped me feel vindicated for getting up at five in the morning, it was seeing Semincelli crash out of first place.
Racing will allways have contriversy but the marshalls could and should have helped both racers back to racing
Two Texans trying too hard and a Englishman who should know how to travel tenderly in the wet tragicly trips up.

You'd think being a world champion and constantly one of the fastest riders in the world would be enough.
I guess he sleeps better knowing that while his army of internerd haters are jacking off over Rossi pictures he's banging his cute wife.

It was'nt enough to freak Casey out when he would look at his board and see the gap narrowing, causing the front end of his Ducati to suddenly act peculiar. He gets a whole new manufacturer and the gap is eliminated anyway, in the form of a known antagonizer. There may be many more races that a wet track may come into place. This will surely delight Rossi as the Ducati stands no chance against the Honda's at this juncture. Casey's biggest mistake was trying to settle the speeds down a bit and not staying in front. He is a little of a head case and Rossi can enter anyone's head at will. We may never know the full extent of this incidant, but we can bet that Casey learned a valuable lesson today. He is a great smart rider that seems to be his own downfall. The confidance that the Honda will give him this year will erase the Desmo disasters.
Clearly, Luke does not like Stoner and nothing he saus or does will ever swerve him away from the bitter taste he has in his mouth in regards to that. I too will never warm to Semincelli from his antics in the 250 days.
I will give him his due in that he rode that San Carlo Honda smoother than I have ever seen him ride.
I think that Spies had the Stoner head when he thought that he needed a pace that he did not need and put the Yamaha into the gravel. Spies wants to get on the 1000 cc bikes and will just hang out at the near top till next year and then watch out. He will be a force to be recond with.
I think that the nature of derooting for whom you dislike instead of who you like is stronger in the premier class of racing and brings out all the positive negative in fans.

The marshals did seem to favour Rossi however when it came to getting then going again. He did however have 2 bikes on him when they came to a halt.
Semincelli was fantastic today all the way up until he lost the rear as well. Thought he'd saved the front but then it all went wrong behind. Great riding up to that point though. I enjoyed seeing some wet weather racing for a change.

If someone did that to me on the track I would have left the engine running to munch his hand up... Or beat the crap out of them with my now useless helmet as would most of you
So pull your heads in for slagging stoner you retards. As I said before, if it happened vice versa I would be backing Rossi completely

Remember the 1993 British GP when Mick Doohan skittled Alex Barros and Kevin Schwantz by leaving his braking to late on the first lap. It was just a racing incident. I never thought the legendary Mick Doohan should ride safer as it was a one off incident.
In this politically correct world with all the worsening health and safety we have it's good to have something a little bit dangerous.
Last year Wayne Gardner said the Isle of Man TT should be banned as it's to dangerous (smart bloke).
It sounds like some of you would ban overtaking on bends!

I think Stoner has whined in the past no doubt, but I personally feel that he handled this situation pretty darn well. Trying to blame him for any of this is ridiculous. (If the same thing happened to me I would have kicked the Shit out of Rossi. Not because I dislike him or anything simply because i would be pissed.)
I am a Rossi fan from way back, but that doesn't preclude me from saying that he made a serious BONEHEAD move on Sunday. This doesn't mean he was "Unsafe" or "Riding Crazy" or anyhting like that, his bonehead move was pushing too hard when he really didn't need to. He was undeniably the fastest guy on the track and he had 20+ laps left to get it done. STUPID move.. But it truly was just a racing incident. No more no less. He also apologized for it afterward and all you Rossi haters wouldn't be satisfied with any apology whether the cameras were on him or not. If yes he is a media hound.. If in private he doesn't have the balls to say so in public. So give it a rest.
As for some of the statements about he was "unsafe" what a bunch of crap. I am the biggest proponent of safety in the world but the facts are that you have to ride on the edge to win 9 World Titles. You don't earn those titles sitting back waiting for a sunny day. And just to make things a bit more clear, Rossi's move, although not the smartest thing in the world, was NOT the same as Pedrosa's ill fated dive bomb on Nicky Hayden a few years back. THAT was unsafe and downright asinine.. This on the other hand was really hard racing... Please try to look at the situation and forget your biases before posting...
So to sum it up.
Rossi effed up. Yep really effed up. (And so did Simoncelli, Spies, Edwards, Depuniet, and Divisiozo...)
Stoner was an innocent by-stander.. Yep and if ANYONE had the RIGHT to bitch it would be Stoner. But he really didn't so kudos to him..
So how about everyone just enjoy the fact that these guys push hard enough to win and to continuously entertain us on a weekly basis and give them all a bit of a break?

I've got to say that for me although I was disappointed to see both Rossi and Stoner crash you can't say that the race got boring!
As for the apology and the actions of both riders; I think they handled it very well and what's wrong with a bit of needle anyway?
One little observation though: when a GP bike crashes the engine is supposed to automatically cut out (its in the rules) but many bikes don't and Ducatis never do (even is WSBK) ; clearly the Hondas do.
Rossi and Ducati now have a month to fix his shoulder and make the bike more ridable for him. Personally I can't wait: I think we might have a really competitive championship on our hands.

Of course you could argue that Rossi at no time was separated from his bike!
It is notoriously difficult to police and I understand that, although the rule exists it is not enforced in WSBK because Ducati twins can't be bump started.

They were doing so because every spaniard loves Rossi err except for everyone at Jerez the year he duffed Sete up at the final corner.
Or maybe they were planning to hold onto Stoner until Lorenzo had won because they wanted whoregay make a twat of himself again doing a victory celebration and nearly drowning?
Or maybe the spanish marshalls didnt want Repsol, a spanish petrochemical company to win?
Stoner is just a whinge waiting to happen. I bet anything he got bullied at school, probably by the very same aussies that think the sun shines out of his lactose intolerant colon now. He is just the sort of snide, scrawny, buck toothed, spotty, snot nose that even the teachers secretly want to give a wedgie to.
If he wasnt a motorcycle racer he would still be getting bullied now by all his colleagues at MacDonalds and Adrianna wouldnt look twice at him, even if he had 3 stars and free chicken nuggets.

Corner workers are under the control of the marshals and a yellow flag at the place of danger should be waving anyway so I hope this does not mean that engine cut off switches will be ignored due to lazy
track workers. Stoner should have stepped on Rossi's head, he wasnt using it anyway.
