Thread: I agree with Stoner

yes.. poor form... condsidering how the crash happened

This whole episode was a disgrace from what I saw. I'm not an avid watcher of the sport but hey, fair is fair

No assistance after a crash, if you can pick up your bike and get it started fair enough but if a marshall helps you then no restart should be allowed. That would fix the issue of playing favourites.

The crash was just a racing incident, nothing more nothing less. Nothing sinister in what happened.

Marshals and flaggies at both the WSBK and MotoGP championship events all around the world are all volunteers and in that part of the world Rossi is god so I'm not surprised at what they did or in this case didn't do.

Would this type of behaviour with Aussie flaggies happen here? ...Nope!

cheers,
Terry

I think there will be steam coming out of Rossi's ears when he has time to digest what Casey said to him in the pits. The relationship between them will certainly be no better. Ironic considering Rossi's comments about the problems Casey had in the last year or so, riding the Ducati. Now he has had first hand experience.

Yep as Terry has said, It's not like he did it on purpose and he apoligised after the race which shows he knew he had made a mistake and was truely sorry about it, it's racing and it is for a world title, was Casey right in being angry, yes he was.

This happens all the time, Mick Doohan did the same thing to Kevin Schwantz, it happens, you just move on to the next race.

It is not about Rossi mistake, is about the marshalls help Rosi and not Stoner which is wrong.

Yes and it will happen again, as he is MotoGP at the moment, when he was out with an injury, crowds dropped 40%, they love him and will do anything to help him, it's happened before, it's just that it's Stoner this time.

I watched the race last night, yes they didn't help him first up, but they did eventually, but the bike wouldn't start once they did help him.

Just how it is, he's lucky it was Spain and not Italy
