What a fucking brilliant article that is. Long...but excellent.

He know's his shit that guy. I note an earlier poster on here said that the writer DID NOT see Rossi knee him off, ( That is because he did not) as the rest of the world has seen via all the vids of it

Good stats man, but only Randy was a factory bike as such, hence he was my first guess as top crasher/dnf, which he sure was good and consistent at. Back in those days, you got rides for having balls, now you have to actually finish races haha

So am I to assume that unwritten rule (like so many others), doesn't apply to Rossi? Because, in 2010, Rossi traded paint and near ran his very own team mate off the track at Montegi, when he (Rossi) had no chance whatsoever for the title, when his team mate was trying to win it. Or is your memory just shit?

Anyway, Rossi may well continue his cry and not turn up.

Wow, one incident over 5 years ago, Yeah your right crasher clearly a long history of bad sportsmanship

I'd simply like you to tell me how it's not ok for MM to race guys not being in contention, yet it's ok for Rossi? That was the question.

I looked into that (my memory doesn't stretch that far haha) and it seems that not many people thought highly of Rossi doing it.

Edit - die hard fans excluded, fans of the sport looked at it as a bad move, poor form. Kind of like whats happening with Marquez now I guess.

when is the replay on sky?

[pritch]

Just wondering what the record for the most DNFs in a single season would be for a factory rider, surely MM is approaching that? We all know how he likes to break records. Someone put Harris onto it!

Harris? You must be joking, he wouldn't know if someone was up him. Doctor Martin Raines (sp?) is the MotoGP statistician. He would probably love the question. He occasionally pops up on Twitter, if I see him I'll ask.

Edit: in a moment of impatience I have asked him anyway. Now we have to await his response - if any.

Me also. It all a case of sticks and stones now. Rossi has his penalty and his job to do still, it will make for a bloody good race to watch I reckon. He will be more out of shape with his bike than we have seen him for a long time, trying to get through the pack I think
