MotoGP round 4 Le Mans 05/15/11 **SPOILERS**

Ill agree marco made a dick move but dani was clearly out of control and overcooking prior to the collision

See, I had no idea what all the bitching about Simo was about. Maybe it was in practices and warm ups and just not televised. But he sure went out and proved everyone right.

I mean I was even mad at Lorenzo for accusing him publicly, even more so after Jorge knocked Dovi upright early on. But then...I cant excuse that move and the consequences for Pedro and honda.

Wonder what could have possessed Casey to punch Depuniet? That boy has to get his meds right or I cant root for him any more.

Stoner was on a fast lap and powering out of the corner, while DePuniet was loafing along. DeP looked back and saw Stoner coming, and tried to move out of the way, but ended up cutting over in front of him. (Not sure why he didn't just hold his line.)

I read the story, but I guess I am old school. Punch me on the warm up lap for any reason and you likely wont make the next corner...

You should read it again... it wasn't the warm-up lap, it was qualifying and RdP hosed 2 of Casey's laps by riding slow on the race line near start/finish.

From what I've read, that's been a pretty big issue during qualifying. People ride slow along the race line, waiting for someone to come by they can latch onto for a tow.

Warm up, Qualifying, Race, wouldnt make me any mind. As I read it they spoke about it during the "safety" moan and pout session.

If having someone follow you pisses you off then ride faster. If they are slow or stopped on the racing line that is terrible and I know it kills your attempt but make a protest...Or find the guy at his motor home and do it right...Just dont show your ass
