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

My thoughts exactly... though if it were Simo we would have been cheering him on a bit

that used to be my favorite thing about watching british superbikes... 75% of the passes were that "overzealous"...

the british world superbike rounds w/ the bsb wildcards were amongst the most entertaining of the year.

the japanese round w/ the (blindingly fast) all japan series wildcards were, as well.

The race was over on the first few turns. Bradl's move might have cost Nicky more than the 4th place.

Bradl's move on Hayden...  I think that situation wouldn't have even developed if Hayden hadn't gotten on the brakes so early coming off the straight like he did.  You could see that he was really closing up, and was set to make a nice pass that probably would have stuck if he would have just kept off the brakes for a touch longer.  I like the guy and all, but who was it that said a while back Hayden lacked that killer instinct?

That would be me! I will stand behind that comment until he proves otherwise.

wish i could recall which race it was this year (catalunya?  silverstone?) where nicky was a new nicky for the first 6 laps, until his rear tire disappeared.  that was not measured, sit back and wait nicky.
