May main point is...Rossi was pretty quick to have a fucking boohoo when he and Bautista came together at Mugello (judged to be no one at fault)...and also when Bautista binned it first lap and nearly got him. Nearly doesn't count. So Rossi is pretty quick to point the finger...but hardly in a position to do so when he's done some of the hardest/most questionable stuff out there.

And seeing the after race reaction between the two, ya have to think that Rossi respects MM for having the balls to have a go. Rossi for sure can play dirty/rough whatever ya want to call it, but looks like he appreciates that it can happen to him too.

Whatever anyone thinks, this year has been one of the best for a long time. MM has done a great job of replacing Casey, and brought a new attitude to the game.

Agree with that too mate. But it's such a pity that MM replaces Stoner rather than joined him. Now THAT would've been epic I reckon. I can only hope he enjoys testing the RCV so much that he has a change of heart and wants back in...

I believe it will happen in time, how many top level racers retire early only to come back for a cameo at some stage?
Another year or two and GP is gonna be like watching Moto2..................balls to the wall passing and fights for wins!

Is it a competition or a secret way for Ducati to come up with better ideas on setting up their GP bike? A chair would probably be faster than the Duc GP bike anyway

What do you reckon he'd be saying then? Crying like a bitch again like he did when the came together at Mugello? Always funny when Rossi is doing the dirty shit eh!

Cal Crutchlow Cal Crutchlow 5th - 116 points

"That was a difficult end to a very difficult weekend and in all honesty I never got comfortable with the bike at any stage here. It is my worst result of the season so far and I can't be happy because I gave up some valuable points in the Championship. Maybe last year in the same situation I would have pushed and not finished, so that is one positive we can take from what was a tough weekend and it certainly isn't how I wanted to go into the summer break. Right from the start of the race I was on the limit and couldn't go any faster. I got beat fair and square and the three on the podium definitely deserved it. I tried my best and didn't give up but sometimes you have to accept you can't do any better. It has been a pretty hectic month so now I am looking forward to getting some rest and I will be back even more motivated in Indianapolis."

Sounds to me like he's not blaming the setup, the weather, the team, or anything else. He's just saying he couldn't get it together this weekend and that's it.

Haha, all this talk about the Rossi and MM incident is just too funny. I'm stuck out at work on nightshift, so rather than stomach the shite morning shows on telly I'm working my way through the 3hr DVD round up of the 2004 WSB season (thanks Manxkiwi!) Toseland and Laconi in the same team at Laguna did more fairing bashing and running each other to the dirt in one lap than happened the whole of that MotoGP race and they kept at each other lap after crazy lap. It's a sad reflection on racing these days that the Rossi/MM molehill is seen as such a mountain.
