I saw it more as, "I'll park my bike in front of Pedrosa leaving him with nowhere to go".
Another stupid and pointless move from Simo.

DOVI for the title this year.

I agree. With Rossi amongst it, it'll be real fireworks!

Think you saw it wrong then.

And Dovi for the title? Now I know you're smoking crack!

Great Race.

Stoner is a great rider, but I am no fan. Just to much of a prat for my liking and sorry the wife is not that hot.

Rossi, 9 times World Champion, enough said.

Simo - best thing in a long time. He is aggressive and does probably need to settle a bit but he is damn cool. I like aggressive racing.
I am sorry that Dani got hurt but I wondered before it happened whether he thought it was a good idea to try and pass Simo right away, Simo, given his style was always going to fight him hard. Racing incident, ride thru way over the top.

In summary - if i was off for a beer be good to drink with Rossi and Simo, but Stoner can stay home. Just a bit to whinney for me.

Cheers

I'm a little surprised to see what Rossi said about it. I would've thought "that's just racing" would once again come from his mouth...

Marco Simoncelli

“For me I haven’t done anything incorrect, so for me this is a race ‘action’ (incident). I saw in the video that his bike was hopping a little bit and he lost the line, he touched me, when I saw he couldn’t make the corner I picked the bike up but it was too late. He touched me on the back and he crashed. For me the punishment from Race Direction was because of all the controversy of the last few days, and from Estoril. For me if the same thing happened without me they would penalise nobody. This is my point of view.”

Valentino Rossi, Ducati Team

”For me, I think this time, Simoncelli was too hard, maybe it was a bit too aggressive, as Dani had no room to make anything. I think it’s also a mistake because at that part of the race Simoncelli arrive strong so maybe instead of overtaking Dani under braking, he could overtake him on the next lap.”

I prefer this

Nicky Hayden, Ducati Team

”I’ve had one look at it so I didn’t really get to slow it down and watch it a couple of times, so I’m not really sure. It’s between them two, they don’t need me to weigh in on it as I’m sure everyone will have an opinion on it. Two guys racing hard, things can happen, there’s been a lot of drama this weekend, a lot of arm waving and this and that.”

I wonder how many times he's watched a slow mo replay of the incident?

I definately agree with his Spies comments.

How about the 125 race! That kid that won will be a motogp champion in the future, you can see it already!

I think MotoGP should enforce the 'Bringing the sport into disrepute, code of conduct' law and call up simoncelli the day before the weekend of the next race and tell him hes banned for 6 months cause he was on parole and he's history.

I'd miss him. I can't wait to see what he's gonna do next. Rubbins racing. It's not lawn bowls after all. I think you are fishing for a bite biggles..
