I recall there's a great video of it on youtube somewhere.

Did you actually watch the race, or did you overhear someone saying that last year? Casey handed out the same 'skill' that Rossi served on him. |

I thoroughly wish that I was in the position to question the world champions skill level.
I saw a hard fought race between 2 combatants, I saw "dubious" tactics, and I saw mistakes.
I reckon Casey is more than skilled enough to step up to the plate and hand it back to the pube behaired monkey boy.

Because he's a racer, you should know better than anyone that racers enjoy a whinge about everything but their own skill.
What was the point in that post btw?

 Please, try and make more sense.
I saw 2 blokes, damn close, waaaay ahead of the rest of the pack, and a slip in the sand that blew that lead.
Yeah, he's a really unskilled rider.

i was absoutely loving the race up until that point too!
all i could do was cry into me weetbix when stoner went into the gravel 
it was all still worth being late to work for though!

I saw it as a brake check. Also I think on most other circuits Casey would have won by a mile.

if the shoe was on the other foot and stoner had pulled kamakazis like rossi did he would have been spitting chips....dirty riding from rossi. The way i see it rossi pulle some dodgy moves and i reckon casey leaned on him in that corner for payback.

Getting on the brakes early to force the guy behind to brake to avoid a collision, and then getting immediately back off them so that he loses ground.
As to rossi vs stoner and crashing... rossi has had a bad run as of late.
However if you look at his results since he found his feet in motogp, he's been a fairly reliable finisher...
If you're pushing the limits of what the bike can do, its inevitable that you're going to go down occasionally (when the guy goes that little bit *too* far). No one wants to go down i'm sure (edit: except maybe de puniet).
If you're not pushing that hard, someone else will be and you'll get passed.... |
