Poor Rossi, had the line all day long and Sete just turned in on him...

Well that is really special. that equals the craziest shit that I've read on the matter. I once crashed a bike on wet grass and the thought ocurred that maybe Rossi could have recovered from that situation. It turns out though that if you are leaning and turning on wet grass you are probably crashing whoever you are.

And the silliness is not restricted to KB. Currently there is a war of words on Twitter, to the level of "you are fucking stupid" between riders ESA and Simeon. A team manager briefly joined the fray too. Funny that the protagonists are Spanish, but most of the argument is in English. Some of the bystanders are possibly using bad language in Spanish though.

Note: It may be that the use of English is because Petrucci is the target of some of ESA's ire and that's their common language.

...this wank is full of shit most of the time...I remember his absolute

of Jorge Lorenzo and his absolute faith that he would keep on winning and smash everyone forever...shades of us fan-bois, but bitter...fuckwit...

...I do enjoy Crasher's blind belligerence, though... it's entertaining...

No question, Rossi is a hypocrite. He would have called that fair racing because he was the one dishing it out, but can't take it the other way.

Twitter argument is hilarious.

Love ESA he doesn't give too many fucks, guy may not have won any races but he's hot property when it comes to riding the fuck out of a shitty bike.

Pedrosa reported to be in surgery for his fractured wrist, Zarco better be there in the recovery room with a box of Roses and an Gallic shrug.
Going to be super fucked off if Dani doesn't make the grid at COTA, he's quietly on some very good form at the moment and could give MM a good run as he's done a few times there. Someone has to beat him there! That and any races missed now means no championship challenge this year...

The Gallic shrug is not normally considered a sympathetic gesture. I think a man hug would be more appropriate.

That was the first discussion I saw this morning, who will take Pedro's ride? One suggestion was Aoyama, but apparently he is management now. Next choice, and probably most likely, is Bradl who is currently a Honda test rider.

On what is being called the "Termas incident", this from Neil Morrison. http://ontrackoffroad.com/2018/04/10/blinded-by-pride/

Always at the sharp end! Just seemed an incredibly lame way to fall off for someone who's supposed to be the goat (note lowercase letters).
