Well deserved and should have been stiffer.
Looks like his enthusiasum outweighed his talent.
Nothing better than even points half way through the season.
Got my Dry Lakebed Racing Tickets yesterday.
Luthi got a raw deal too

I think it is bollocks. Bautista had his own accident and cant be held resposible that the bike took out Whoregay. He is basically being penalised for crashing on the first corner, which pretty much every Moto Gp rider has done in the past.

If Whoregay had done the same and took out Bautista there would be no penalty and it would go down as a racing incident

If a racer heads into a corner with wreckless abandone and his actions affect a fellow racer. Race direction has much responsibilty to set penalties that will eliviate such behaviour.
I, myself would be much quicker with a penalty onto a racer that has effected the front pack, the ones that will ultimately win the championship than unto some nonessential tarmac filler-billboard.
Alvaro sure looked guilty, he wasnt looking like he was confused as to what just occured. The end result is a possibly better championship. Looks Like its time for more ontrack bowling.
Who's next?

With that one move, Bautista became my favorite MotoGP racer. San Carlo Gresini HONDA, took out the leading Yamaha rider. It couldn't have been on purpose, could it?

When Rossi did it to Stoner last year nobody said anything... Was not in the first corner neither.
I still think Bautista had a brake issue that made him overshoot and then locked the tyre.

Yep, racing incident.
'whoregay' is a whinging weirdo (exceptional talent though) who's added nothing to the sport and will (should) never win another championship.
Start mountain biking or something.. Just get off my tv screen..
