MotoGP - Le Mans

I look at it as Simo didnt intentionally do it he didnt shove it up the inside he just let the brakes go and carried imense corner speed ok he did cut in across Danni but like people have said Danni stood it up watch it in slow mo and then drives into the rear of Simos bike not his fault he shit himself but yeah

Pedrosa also ran across some bumps on the way in that unsettled the bike. That didn't help either.

[Oscar]

Yeah...wouldn't expect you to like that one anymore Oscar.

It do get a wee bit boring.


Anyway, the interesting thing here is the swift action of Race Control.
I think it's got to do with the impending retirement of Paul Butler - he doesn't have to play politics anymore and he wants to show 'em who's boss...

[puddytat]

Well it looks to me that Simo's seat clips Dani's bar....& either way he had no where to go. Stupid move.
What about Marques in Moto 2? Fantastic ride & on the top step after only 4 rounds
Armchair expert that I am

Sorry Oscar, was only seeing if I could get a wee bite! But I do agree with you. I'm over it myself.

I really think Simoncelli was hard done by in that particular instance. I stand by my original thought, that Pedrosa freaked and picked the bike up, when he could've avoided it.

[merv]

Instead of pissing around hanging his left foot off the peg going into the corner Dani should have got his right boot out and kicked the prick out of the way as he went by.

As for Stoner's punch, that'd be right up there with KBers that go on about whacking the mirror of an errant cage that gets in their way so he'd fit right in here.

Yeah I just watched the race and I agree. My first thought was he took him out but on the replay (and it is still hard to 100% see) I reckon it was a racing incident. Simoncelli outbraked Pedrosa and either Pedrosa went into the corner too hot and would have taken out Simoncelli if he kept on the line or he panicked. Either way it sucks for both of them. Pedro with another broken collarbone (remember that injury pretty much ended Gibernau's career) and Simo lost a podium.

Bugga! I thought that must've been the KB wave. Or was that the one that DePuniet gave Stoner immediately after the bitch slap?

Am I the only person that thinks Simo's pass on Dovi was pretty stupid and indeed, gifted Pedrossa 3rd? Thinking back to Portugal last year, I reckon the Dovizioso vs Simoncelli show will be the most entertaining this year.

Simo biffs a lot of people last year, notably Dovi at Portugal.
Quatar GP Simo biffs Dovi.
Estoril GP Simo gets a bollocking from Lorenzo..
Le Mans GP Simo spectacularly biffs Pedrosa off his bike.
There's aggressive, and there's dangerous. Time the lad had a forced break for a race.

As for Stoners "punch". The little tw@t wouldn't front up to Rossi nor De Puniet in the pits for a proper fight.

[Brett]

Simoncelli should really have known better, he was riding such a good ride and I have been wanting him to get a good podium spot for ages now and he threw is away by being too aggressive and causes another of my fav's to go out with a broken collar bone. Not happy, but hey, that is racing. Hope pedrosa can get back and sorted asap.

STONER IS KING ALL OTHERS ARE JUST PRETENDERS

Simo is the best thing to happen to MotoGP since Rossi.

Dani got sucked into a fight he was always going to lose and he should have known better.How sad,never mind.

Get your eyes checked. The biff wouldn't have happened if Pedrosa hadn't freaked and picked the bike up. He ran into Simoncelli in case you didn't see it.

I wanna see what happens when he gives Rossi the hurry up. Bet they won't be friends anymore!

The beauty of it is that there is plenty of time for it to happen.Rossi looks like he's finally getting his head around the Duke and if they can find a little more motor to stay with the Honda's (and it's a big if)this season won't be a total Stoner walkover.

Gotta mention that Vinales ride in the 125's was the highlight of the meeting for me and the kid was as cool as a cucumber.
Marquez is finally where he should be too,surprised it took so long.

[Quickrik]

regardless of whos at fault (Pedrosa) why can't race result just be race results, without race control getting involved over anything that isn't considered "gentlemens racing"?
