as a yamah/lorenzo man Robert how do you view the penalty on Bautista?

Ok, I'm not Robert - but what Bautista did to Lorenzo was exactly what Rossi did to Stoner on that infamous day at Jerez.

So it's - who you are, not what you did?

seems to be...the probability of being punished seems to be inversely proportional to your relative status to the person you knocked off

Bautista/Lorenzo


A man who never made mistakes is a man who never did anything...

Not close. Crutchlow said Bautista was still changing up while everyone else was braking. Very gung ho.

Rossi lost the Ducati front end on a damp patch.
Not that the Duc front end actually needs much encouragement to let go.

Lorenzo thinks Bautista got off light, Gresini think the penalty was too tough, so it's probably about right?

Any Honda conspiracy theories on this?

if it is Bautista did a bloody good job,judging his front wheel lose to perfection,he was still quite seperated from Lorenzo when he lost the front

Pretty much the same, they were both pushing too hard for their ability/conditions/equipment

[carbonhed]

I suspect Lorenzo would have won that at a canter but anywhooo... tightens the championship

Good chance for Spies to get amongst the Honda's and help his teammate but that never really looked like happening. Happy for Dovi frustrated for Cal.

Other than that was pretty boring... job done Alvaro Bautista.

Moto3 was epic moto 2 really good.

Spoken like a true Rossi fan.

What a fucking crock of shit.

Rossi, like Bautista, got in too hot and tucked the front taking out an innocent party.

To try and explain it any other way is bullshit, as is Bautista's penalty.

No wonder Stoner's had enough.

as a yamah/lorenzo man Robert how do you view the penalty on Bautista?

Cal Crutchlow is right, Bautista is a dickhead. He was never going to make that corner. I wonder how much Nakomoto is paying him for taking out the best bike and rider combo?

[Robert Taylor]

Yep when they cant win legitimately they play dirty.

[gav]

I think Bautista should miss the next race, he had a similiar crash last year didnt he? And I think John Hopkins had to miss a race one year when he did something similiar in the first corner?

Plus a bloody good flogging

He's probably just paying Ducati back for Rossi's move last year.

Be good to see if Lorenzo can shrug it off like Stoner did last year eh. Why do you think Bautista should be punished for doing the exact same thing as Rossi did last year?

Because neither ride Yamahas!
