This gets you a ride through (as in fucks your race totally)...

But running a guy out of track on purpose? Fuck all.

I haven't read Motomatters yet, but while making a sandwich and a cuppa for lunch the thought occurred that if Rossi gets a stay, his penalty is put aside until the court hearing. Meantime he then starts Jerez from where he qualifies. If he loses, or drops his appeal, he would then start from the back of the grid at Qatar next year - if he hasn't decided to retire, and if Yamaha haven't decided to dispense with his services.

KTM might be looking for a rider?

Afterthunk: OK I've read Motomatters now, there is a variation of opinions expressed in the comments - of course! I'm with the first guy I read, initially this whole thing was unpleasant. Basically it had ruined the championship which had promised an exciting conclusion. Now though, the thing seems to have developed a life of its own. We can only await developments with interest. One way or another this is going in to the history books.

The most relaxed guy in the world is probably Jeremy Burgess.

He ran the guy wide. Lotsa people do that, Barbera based a career on it. Lotsa people don't fall off, but if they do the guy on the inside may have to answer some questions.

Don't get too carried away though Pete, people may get the impression you are not a Rossi fan.

I don't like unnecessary black flags. In a four wheeled sport a friend of mine rather startled me when he said he wouldn't stop for a black flag. His view was that you could argue your case afterward. If you stopped, but then proved that you were in the right? Tough shit.

Black flags should be obeyed wthout question, but should only be used when there is an immediate and unquestionable problem. That is not the case here.
As indicated by the fact that currently this could drag on for another six to twelve months.

All in all though whoever you support or don't?
It has to be said if every damn rider carried on like Rossi did round the sweeper at Hampton it'd be fucken dangerous!
End of the day that shit cant be condoned as normal practice.

Still recon they'll sacrifice a race next year so he can have a shot at 10 now.

Yes I'm a Rossi fan, like to see him get 10 titles, but I think this has to be addressed sooner or later.

Depends how fast you are. So for me not very. Cant say Ive looked at my speedo on it.

But its wide enough to land a 747 on.

Cog higher than the one at Ruapuna, and the exit isn't abrupt so ya don't have to hold back with opening the taps for fear of plowing into pit wall.

I'm waiting till I see it this arvo before expressing an opinion...But I see on another forum that some Italian journos went pranking outside the Marquez family home...fisticuffs reported. This is the season that just keeps on giving...

FFS Holdens answer to that was open the taps earlier and get the bike pointing where you needed it to.

I've only ever seen one go into the wall - and that was a riderless bike.
