Here's how Revvin Kevin saw it...

At that point, Dani's options are, "I've screwed up. Do I really want to take Marco out? If I do, I've got to get back on the gas, and I've just got to sacrifice us both." Instead, Dani did what was right, and didn't do that ... stayed off the gas, ended up falling and has now got a broken collarbone. But my thought process ... and I read somewhere a quote that Valentino said that Marco's maybe taken this a little bit too far, and that was too physical a move. Well, he said he thought Marco should've followed Dani. I say Marco just passed Dani, and I think Dani should follow Marco. I don't like to see motorcycles coming together and guys falling down, because nine times out of ten it's a no-win situation for both guys. Fortunately for Marco, there was enough run-off on the outside of the track in that corner, and he was able to run to the outside of the pavement, over through the gravel, and get back on the track. Obviously, the officiating crew there with the FIM decided that maybe that deserved a penalty. The move, the contact, whatever it might've been, and that's what Marco got. I'm not sure that that was the right call, but that's the call that I guess we all have to live with. I texted Marco a couple of times. He said he didn't think he deserved it, much like I told him I didn't think he deserved it. But he said, "Lorenzo is World Champ right now. He's been making a lot of stink about my riding. I guess they listen to his voice a little bit more than they listen to mine," is the way Marco put it

Well if thats what Kev said.....this topic is now over...cant argue with the Master
Rossi's a knob.

Interesting how two world champs can see it differently eh!

Not making Stoner start from pit lane was bullshit. He needs to learn, and if that's the hard way, so be it.

Kiss off mate!...Randy Depuniverse needs the learn for moving into the path which was 50 x more dangerous then a little iddy biddy jab!

Have to agree with you. He saw Stoner coming, then moved over in front of the fucker. Shit like that can get someone seriously maimed or killed. A lil tap on the arm can't!

A professional doesn't strike another competitor. That's for drunken louts and amateurs. That's the sort of second rate shite I would expect to see at a NZ race meeting, not the MotoGP.

He an Bradley Smith should have started from the back or not at all.

I'd hardly call a thump on the arm 'striking' a fellow competitor. Smashing him in the face yes. I could be wrong, but I don't think you've done a whole lot of road racing?

When some clown (especially one that should know better) does something really idiotic that could've well killed you, it's fucking easy on the spot to lose your rag. Pretty sure I've seen posts from you saying you'd smash someone for sitting on your bike in the past? Pretty minor offence compared to a fucking stupid move that could've killed you I'd say. There's a lot at stake for Stoner (another world championship in fact), and he's already been skittled once this season by a fuckhead type move...so I can fully understand him being a bit scratchy towards such stupidity.

so I can fully understand him being a bit scratchy towards such stupidity.

As can I, but given that the only thing that appears to be able to stop him from winning another championship is himself, you would think he would be smarter enough to keep that factor under control.

Regardless, he is being paid as a professional, he should conduct himself like one. That's not to say that any of them will always do that, but when they don't, there should be a penalty large enough to dissuade it happening again. Just because you're the current golden boy, that shouldn't give you leeway to act like a twat.

If he fucks it up for himself (by say getting a ride through, start from the back, whatever) and loses by the amount of points his fuck up costs him, it'll be a bloody sad day.

I heard the commentators talking about people stooging around looking for a tow, and getting in the way of bikes cutting down fast laps, which obviously frustrates (and in this case fair scares the shit out of) other riders. Fine, do something about that by all means, especially if it is dangerous, but it is a separate issue. The issue here is a lack of professionalism, and a lack of sportsmanship.

I know he's not currently leading, but this championship is his to lose... he needs a kick up the arse to remind him that he'll need a cool head to put this season to bed. He can bash all the stupid/dangerous French wankers all he likes in the off sesason, once the title is his. Currently he's losing to that second rate Rossi wannabe, he's not in the position to be able to afford to make stupid decisions in the heat of the moment.

Trolling on the internet is hardly an indicator of what happens in real life. The only time I've found somebody on my bike was some stupid foreign git with his child at local round of the NZSBK. I asked him nicely, didn't make much of a scene, and that was that. True if it were some scrote that actually damaged it via the callous use of a boot when climbing on it, I might scone them full in the face with a helmet, but I'm not exactly trigger happy.

(of course my mate who came charging down off the embankment didn't leave this guy in any doubt about what would happen next time, but I only came for the racing so left them to it)
