    You have misread that. The fastest way would be to avoid all the corners, take a left at the start line, and just keep going left till you're over the start line. That would be a dramatically larger amount of cheating, but they're both cutting corners, and both cheating. He got away with it because he's Valentino Rossi... but I would have thought that if you took a place by cutting a corner, you would be required to cede that place and have to retake it.

    I saw it as clean. My view of the riders in question might be clouding my judgment though.

    That's often the case. I saw Simo's move on Pedro as hard but fair when Pedro binned it and broke his collarbone. To me...Pedro freaked and picked it up. To others...Simo was well out of line. But if you're to be 100% honest...you've gotta say that Rossi has done some of the harshest moves around. And that's ok, racing is about pushing every single limit.

    Stoner's beef with the pass was that, in the rule book it specifically says that you have to stay between the racing lines, which Rossi didn't. Don't get me wrong, guy has balls the size of oranges to run it up the inside on the gravel. But if it didn't stick and he crashed out there would have been plenty for Stoner to bang on about, and rightly so.

    Agree with everything there. I reckon it was by the rules a blatant cheat. But for balls alone...should be allowed! But then I guess we'd have cunts taking shortcuts everywhere...

    Well my take is who ever is considered right or wrong Rossi made a rash move in the heat of the moment. They probably both think they are in the right
    Stoner thinks Rossi took to the gravel and Rossi maintains the door was slammed shut forcing him there.

    How many of us that have raced think back to an event and say to ourselves
    "bloody hell I was damn lucky to stay moving after that??" and "bloody hell I was even luckier in the stewards room".

    One of those things you do in a split second and take whatever comes out the other end.

    Ain't these the moments we watch racing for The "fuck me" push the boundaries stuff we could never do ourselves.

    Damn good pic tho aye! Bring on 2013
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    Now you know why I've been wanking on about it for so long! Hopefully MM has been watching/reading. Although Pedro did wick it up a couple of times and tried his luck. No one seems to want to do it quite as fast/often though.
