As much as i like Rossi, his podium was more luck than anything, with Pedrosa falling and Simoncelli being penalised. It was really obvious that the Ducati was much slower than both Lorenzo's Yam and Dovi's Honda. It's just that Rossi is so good on the brakes that he was able to compete with the other bikes

He's done quite well this year, considering how the Ducati measures up to the other bikes

It was funny to see Lorenzo pull such a stupid move on Dovi too, basically the exact type of stuff he had a go at Simoncelli for the race before!

Simoncelli's move was dangerous so IMO, the penalty was rightly given...It maybe harsh but I can't really think of any other "less harsher" penalty that could have been given...

Those hondas are monsters...I honestly don't see yamaha and ducati matching their pace....I guess it will be down to pure racing ability and some luck for lorenzo or rossi to win this year...

I feel bad for pedrosa...Any news on how serious his injury is?

I also feel bad for Pedrosa but that doesnt mean Marco should have been pinalised. Why wasnt Lorenzo penalised? Marco was ahead, Dani should have braked.

Dani had the inside line and marco braked late...Even Rossi commented that marco was too aggressive on that corner...I don't think marco would have been given a ride through if dani didn't crash

Lorenzo's move was also aggressive and IMO, he should at least be given a warning...He's fortunate that he didn't cause a crash because if he did, he might have been penalized too...

It seems like there's always an issue w/ motogp every race weekened LOL....

end of the day if that warranted a ride through then any pass that takes out another rider deserves one also. Dani should have just kept his line, he had enough room but he didnt keep his lean and by pulling up thats what made contact with the tyres.

What a drive by Marques!!!

Agree with your last point. Lorenzo should just shut up. But your first point...that wasnt just luck. Of course the pedrose simoncelli farce put him on the podium, but he still overtook Lorenzo and if the Ducatti is still slower than the Yamaha then it was skill that put him in that position, not luck. And at the rate Rossi and his team are developing that Ducatti, it wont be slower for much longer

I think Marco got given the ride thru penalty cause of his hair. Its like he is riding around with extra weight ballast with that big mop on his head.

[racechick]

How's he get it in his hemet? Must be awfully sweaty in there.

I heard rumours thats he might get his hair cut when he wins a race.

No Pedrosa for the upcoming race at Catalunya as he still recovering from his collarbone injury. Hopefully a speedy recover for Dani.

That sucks....He hasn't had the best luck when it comes to injuries...I hope he recovers soon(This coming from a yamaha fan)...

Dani seems to be a very fragile. everytime he crashes his bike he gets a injury where as some can walk away from it in okay condition.

Simoncelli takes his first pole at Catalunya just pipping Stoner's time. The Spanish/Pedrosa fans ain't happy seeing him on pole. The commentators were saying the fans were booing him as he came into parce ferme.
