I was pretty pissed about Bradl's move on Hayden. Hayden made a clean pass on him and then he comes and shoves him wide. Anybody else see it this way?

I'd close your eyes next year when Marquez is on the track with the big boys..

It was a shit move by Bradl no doubt

i think you guys watched too much 800cc GP racing. 

Yeah yeah

When it comes down to it... the shenanigans are part of the reason I enjoy Moto2 so much 

Quote from: gm2 on July 16, 2012, 01:47:43 PMcal also said that passing rossi was a waste of time bc he would have gotten him right back on the straight every time.

If that was so, then how did Cal pass Hayden at the last stretch?  Is Rossi's bike that much faster than Hayden's?

Quote from: thought on July 16, 2012, 11:23:24 AMI'd say Rossi's helmet pretty much says 2013 is on a duc.

.....

I hope that is false.  Please God.

Thx to you folks here, I have started watching moto2 and boy was I missing some crazy "shenanigans".  I mean it's scary watching this guys ride that packed in that a small space almost the whole race.  Wow!!

well.. rossi's bike was faster than everyone's that day.  but you might be talking about when nicky got pushed wide - ?  in which case, different issue

your prayers look to be falling on deaf ears.  all indicators are that he's staying and using the blank check he got from audi to make the bike work.

that is the perfect way to set yourself up for success with a future teammate.

Maybe Hayden should have done the same instead of constantly out qualifying the doctor.

Bradl's move was clean, Hayden just got the short end of it. Bummer, as I was excited to see Hayden maybe get 4th. Hayden really doesn't deserve to lose his ride.

Stoner's move late in the race on the other hand (forgot who it was on)...

Boring race overall though.

Not to forget to mention AMA Daytona class. That's a whole lot of fun racing too!

Bautista...and he "apologized" but Alvaro apparently gave him the finger on the cool down lap for it and he is damn right to do that IMHO....if Alvaro had done that to Casey...we wouldn't have heard the end of it...

All were douchebag moves, but also "racing incidents". An article made a good point that if race direction would penalize every pass that involved some rubbing, we would be complaining about how boring the races had become. Plus Moto2 and 3 see tons more contact on a week by week basis.

Agreed completely.

I was just saying that Bradl's move was clean however you look at it, while Stoner's was an example of a bad move. I don't think Stoner did it on purpose though...he just made a mistake. There isn't a racer on the planet that hasn't made a bad pass by accident.

it is simple...Stoner pulled a Simoncelli...he overzealously pushed into a turn to force a pass which could have potentially punted Bautista...
