I know most of you have see the first race of the season. I'd like to get your feelings, opinions, and ideas about the race. I have a HUGE discussion going on over at the 'Hood as well. http://p072.ezboard.com/fexupbrotherhoodfrm12.showMessage?topicID=585.topic
Well when I seen it I was a bit shocked..but after replaying it...., yes rossi did come in hot, but it was Gibernau who hit into him. He should have stayed wide and come in later. But anyways, I reckon its all apart of the sport...,It was a lil dirty..but not unsportman.
I remember watching it live and thinking on that last corner - why is rossi's foot down? But I do remember him doing it last year as well. My opinion - it was a fantastic battle, came down to the last lap, some mistakes made (even shows Rossi can break (not brake, though he can do that too) under pressure - whcih should give his opponents some heart), and I hope to see many more battles along those lines!!! I do hope that we can have another 1 or 2 people in the mix though...
Yeh I was lookin at that again, I rekon ROssi's entry and risk he took in taken that move was awesome. I wanted Sete to win.. though I give it up for Rossi for that crazy manouver. I was thinkin they would both crash.. but sete turned in and i think tried to cover Rossi's line to late. Cant wait for the next race.. was freakin awesome.!! damn!
if they are gonna blame someone, you can blame em both, rossi coming in to the last turn hot and sete came back in and hit rossi either way the better rider with the better bike won....
i think rossi basically used gibernau as a brake - ie. he wasn't gonna make the corner (at best run wide) until he rebounded off the "mullet" and got back on line - maybe not too sportsmanlike but a pretty damn insane move to make and you really gotta hand it too him - he worked out a way to win from an almost impossible position. Now if sete can just take it up a notch for the next race.... <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: --> <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: --> <!-- s:-? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_Eyecrazy.gif" alt=":-?" title="Eye Crazy" /><!-- s:-? -->
