Ambition outweighed the talent (Spoilers)

What a little bitch. I understand being upset in a situation like that, but to say that to Rossi of all people? Little punk ass bitch. I hope he never wins another championship.
And damn for Edwards, I was pulling for him so hard, just to have the bike break. What shit luck.

[ilikenapalm]

I thought he handled it pretty well.

I agree. I can't stand Stoner, but I have to give him credit for saying it was a racing incident.

btw i feel bad for edwards, but good for nicky!

Stoner needs to suck it up and continue. Rossi doesn't seem to have many grudges, but once he locks in on you, (Biaggi, Gibernau) he doesn't seem to let go.

Not to mention that once he locks on, he seems to make it his mission not just to beat you but embarass you as much as possible.

Part of the head games. Gibernau never won another race after the "Curse of the Doctor" was put on him.

If Ducati can get their sh*t together (which WILL happen once Burgess & Rossi get enough time on the bike)... It will make for a very interesting end of the year.

[dudutzu]

the whole race was INSANE!!!
and rossi should have known better

[Rada]

Wild race without a doubt.
I want to see some close ups of those shaggy ass tires.

[Paul_E_D]

I was like, good god, he can do anything, then I was like, wait, no he can't...

Nicky's rear

[OreoGaborio]

Well that's one way to turn a rain tire into a slick

Nicky's rear

[lrrs428]

Damn, Im more impressed that they released that photo

[Dieseldan]

Wow that is insane!!!!!


Best race in a long time!

[dudutzu]

at some point the commentators were saying that they can't see water coming off the tires(like there was no water on the track) but turns out you cant pick up water off the track with slicks
too bad Spies crashed outta second place with a lap and a half to go

[Rada]

After a look at that tire it is no wonder they were dropping like flies at the end.

From the video footage JL's back tire looked like it had big bushy side burns.

[NeverlosT]

man I WISH I had CABLE! ugh. Ever try going into a bar and asking them to put on MotoGP? They look at me like I have three eyes and want to know why I dont think the golf tournament that is on is the most impressive thing on earth.

Looks like it was a wild race!

I agree. I think it is just a matter of time before Rossi gets real fast on the Desmo.

[Eddie]

I believe that Rossi's incident was a bit over aggressive. Too bad he crashed cause he did have the pace to win the race. He came from the back of the back, crashed and still finished 5th. Go figure.

As for Stoner, he was saying that an apology off camera would have been more appropriate. Whatever!! I believe that an apology on camera is just as good or better. Don't get me wrong, IMHO Stoner is poisoned to win the championship this year, he was just bitter about the incident.

[Eddie]

Ohhh...yeahh...I forgot to mention...I believe that Simoncelli's crash was the biggest pitty of the race. He is looking very good in that factory Honda.

I hope Rossi doesn't win another championship - I don't care how many GP's he has won or how prestigious he is in the racing community. That was an unnecessarily over aggressive move on wet track made by an insanely arrogant asshole.

I've never liked him and shit like that just confirms my thoughts. If the guy is so good why not just set Stoner up for the next corner and go then??

[scottieducati]

That move was no more, or less aggressive than any number of questionable passes in recent years. Pedrosa on Hayden in '06 comes to mind. So does a Jorge pass what, 2 years ago was it? Aggressive? Yes. Unnecessary? LOL sure... whatever you say... Like Senna taking out his championship rival in T1 of the final race (ensuring his rival DNF'd leaving Senna the championship), "when there is a space, no matter how small, that you don't go for... you cease to be a racer."

That's fine - but it wasn't about space, it was about entry speed. And there was no way in the wet he was going to stick that pass. I don't even race, but just from my meager track day time and knowledge the minute I saw him my first thought was he can't stick that.

There is racing, and just being an idiot, and he was just being an idiot. There were at least 20 laps left in the race, not like it was the last lap.
