A little more interesting.....
« on: May 15, 2011, 02:27:58 PM »
Moto Gp Le mans. definately a lot more interesting than most of the other races. Rossi finally back on the podium. Got to feel sorry for little Dani though. I cant help but feeln that that could well be a career over. Good battles finally though :) :)

Good to see Rossi and Ducati back on the rostrum, but shame aboout all the bike hurling.

Getting to feel really sorry for Simoncelli. What has he got to do to get on the podium?? Love the way he rides, shall we say assertive to be kind.

Overall though it was a good race and I think Stoner's getting the hang of the Honda ;)

i dont think the ride through was fair. specially as lorenzo had carried out exactly the same overtake on someone earlier in the same race. simoncelli was hard done by i think. i saw the overtake and thought it was a clean one, every one of the top moto gp riders had done the same on many occasions in the past, sometimes with a crash, mostly, luckily without. good to see rossi back on the rostrum.

Too true, i agree the ride through probably wasn't fair. It was obviously race control making an example to try and calm things down. The sad part is, if there were more bikes on the grid, he probably would have got away with it. Definately think its good to see some overtaking in moto gp again though :)

If Pedrosa had held his line, he'd probably have got round the corner without hitting Mr Wild Hair.  The worst he would have done is low-sided.

Pedrosa invented his own accident, and Simoncelli got punished for it.  ::)

Agree with you Trevor, the accident was a racing incident and it's a shame that the off track politics seem to have influenced the decision
