Jerez 2-3 April...

[wharfy]

Rossi was on a charge, though.......and his lap times coming back up through the pack were quicker than the guys in front.......Stoner was justified to be pissed off with the marshalls though - apparently it takes a minimum of 2 to push start a Honda.......

There should be some rule about outside assistance - If you can't get it going yourself - park it.

Rossi said he didn't even mean to try and pass but got in too hot and couldn't go wide.

Yeah, I read that. A good spin on what clearly was a serious case of 'Red Mist' that a Rooke would've been proud of...............

Agree!

Rossi was going awesomely well. The rain is a great leveler of machinery and set up.

My only issue is...Stoner didn't deserve what happened to him when Rossi took him out, and then when the marshalls helped Rossi instead of himself...? I think it showed the level of desperation Rossi is at.

He's riding a bike Stoner won on (more often than Rossi in the 800cc era), and he's not able to get close to the top three on it. I think Stoner should be genuinely flattered by that Fags moves. It shows how massively he rates him as the MAN to beat.

Stoners stocks are going up...Rossi's down.

[denill]

Stoner does himself no favors though, instead of dissing Rossi's apology as "just for the camera" (which it may well have been) he could have just said " Yeah, Na, all good mate just get that front end sorted before trying that one again eh"

Really?? Rossi got off bloody light...................

I totally agree.
It would have been great to see how Stoner handled Lorenzo and Dani and Rossi handled them.....instead of turning into a race of..."who's gonna fall off next". George was riding really well for the conditions and it would have been good to see how Casey handled it.
Oh well - such is racing.......

Agreed except for one thing , if you Google Rossi and stoner ,,,, they have had a long standing affair(s)

Cant remember has Stoner been world champion ?? Rossi what 9 times ??? I don't think rossi needs to prove his talent to anyone ( except me on My Bantam , he would have no chance there , but he doesn't answer his emails , the poof )

+1.

David Emmett's column also adds some balance.

First of all...show me Rossi getting taken out by a muppet move.

Light years faster than Stoner? Hardly. He simply made a muppet move that cost Stoner points.

Build a bridge? I don't need to mate. I won $200.00 at the tab for backing Lorenzo. Quite happy with the outcome of the race actually.

Last...but not least...if you're proud of that fudge packer Rossi for his display of 'sportsmanship', and you think it was fair...I pity you. Best thing is...Stoner is gonna give ya boyfriend a fair fucking hiding this year. Despite being taken out by a novice move by him.

Wow, nice bite man. Do try to chill out and stop accusing everyone who is a fan of Rossi's of being gay, you are starting become offensive and that's not on when it's just banter. I assume you have some proof of Rossi's homosexuality, if not give it a rest coz that's getting old too, it's not that amusing anymore.

Try reading the link from Damian below, pretty sure Mr Gardner's opinion hold more water than yours and I whole heartedly agree with his views on this incident.
Lets get this straight (no pun intended) I was not and have not condoned what Rossi did to Stoner as being ok, quite the opposite. It was dumb and poor judgement by someone of his experience but like it or not mistakes happen, it's the nature of human beings.
And by the way congratulations on your winnings.

Truly heroic piece of spin doctoring there Gazza

He "achieved" that result on a bike he could have challenged for the win on and all it took was...

Punting off pole sitter and race favourite
Spot of luck with bike still in running order
35 helpfull marshals to get him going who then proceed to drag Stoner off the track
43 other riders to fall off

Truly magisterial performance.

Yes, I believe he could have won that one.
Very funny reading all the comments. It was a racing incident, the rest is gabble.
eg. Rossi left his helmet on pfft, did you see the size of that little 'ELF' errrr, whats his name ? Roll on Estoril.

Maybe Casey needs a bit of that demented Aussie fire exhibited by the wildcard in the Phillip Island Moto 2 race last year? Didn't have to sprint the length of the gravel trap to lay hands on the miscreant either... one step to the left and an almighty boot up the arse
