Bottom line? Rossi is so right. It is a race. :chopper
A sportbike race yes, a motocross race NO! Rossi should have been penalized for his unsafe move. If it was Nicky, or anyother racer that pulled that, I'd say the same thing. Rossi went in there knowing there would be a collision. :thumbdown

Wanna race sweetie pie? :wave :biglaugh Lookout here comes SPEED, and it looks like he's going to take a crappy line he can't possibly hold without slamming into GSXR600Chick.....GSXR600Chick went off the track and crashed hard....it looks like she's fallen, and can't get up....better call in the helo! At least SPEED didn't go down as well...now he can jump up and down on the top podium spot while GSXR600Chick goes to the hospital :woot "That's Racing!" :happyb :clapping

Since its a trackday you can complain to the head control rider that he stuffed you in a turn. Oh wait. Mike is the head control rider :laughing Back to the drawing board on that idea :headscratch

Looked to me like he was too focused on passing Sete and not paying attention to his entry speed, but with the full intention of screaming past Sete on the inside. However, last second he noticed he was going in way too hot (the foot off the peg, confusion maybe) then paniced and/or just held on. He should have apologized at the press confrence, but IMHO it didn't look intentional. We'll never know until Rossi tells us what went through his mind at that moment in time.

Link is much like a the biaggi no working :spit

Bumping on a grand prix motorcycle just like a grand prix open wheel car is just not racing imho. The nascrap sheit is another story but they're more like politcly correct Jerry Springer's on wheels nowadays they might as well go back to figure 8 racing and call it what it is "a bumper derby"

Tamada got DQ'd last year for the same type of move on Sete. While in Japan Caporossi (sp?) didn't I know you guys remember that one.

If I were Sete I'd slapped Rossi Silly. That was a $%^ck ed up move. Yep Rossi is "Persona Non Gratta" in Spain at the moment. That move gets the :asshat award of the race.

From the top Veiw as well as a couple other veiws it looks to me like Rossi late braked and stuffed inside making a bold move and acctually had Sete and Sete closed up on him to keep him from getting it instead of just letting off and letting him go by and it appeared to me that the foot went down mabye to keep them both from eatting right there...while his line wasn't the cleanest of lines it was a bold move and that's racing for ya Sete should have throttled off avoided the contact and pressed on....at leat that's my :2cents
