I think that he was pissed that Rossi went into the gravel but instead of crashing, Rossi then passed his ass. But then when he went into the gravel, he fell off.

I think he was more upset about the fact that in his opinion the passes were too aggressive... but I think the one at the cork screw was made worse by stoner trying to get back at Rossi... if Rossi was going down Stoner should have let up a bit and let him across... not try to box him in... and that's what caused stoner to almost be forced off the track... IMO


FUCK I hope Indy is as entertaining!

besides,anyone who has followed MotoGp with regularity has seen your boy Mr. Stoner pull off some pretty hairball moves in the past so it's basically a pot calling the kettle black/sour grapes situation imho.

I also hope that Indy is as good but I hope that Rossi will calm down a little... he's thrown away the championship these past two years. I hope he doesn't make it 3 in a row!

Correction, he didn't throw it away last year. Ducati kicked everyone in the nuts the first year on the 800.

Now the year before, he handed it to Nicole.

It will be as long as you don't watch it on CBS.

All he had to do was finish ahead of nicole instead of lowsiding at Valencia.

But you are right, the tech trouble early in that season ending up making the difference.

We will be watching that shit live, in person! No CBS!

I understand why CBS does it that way though, most people who tuned in have probably never seen a bike race before, they were expecting golf or something when they flipped it on, and hopefully some of them kept watching and learned a few things...

It's on a Wednesday and Thursday, but I've got plenty of leave, a set of warmers, and my trusty long underwear...

Greg White is always trying to create excitement where their is none. The British color commentator is ok but the play-by-play announcer is a f'n wank.
