I seem to recall that about a second after that last pic, there was only 1 marshal pushing.

No one had made that exact same move...

just rewatched the beginning of the race...Simoncelli's move on Lorenzo was the exact same move in the exact same corner and then a couple corners later he made a similar block pass move on Stoner for to take the lead...then Rossi made a similar block pass manuever on Lorenzo on his way up charging towards Casey....

i think you're right however the cut that made it to the website magically doesn't have that.  they cut to a replay of the crash and then go back to simo.

btw, this caused me to re-watch the ben/pedro battle 2 laps later. 

Stoner - Rossi Jerez 2011

Anyway, what's happened, happened.

And Stoner has every right to be pissed, plus Stoner wouldn't have liked the circus that followed Rossi down to the HRC garage. He would have been grinding his teeth and counting to ten, I know I would have been if it was me. Did everyone expect him to get on his knees, beg forgiveness for getting in Rossi's way while gently cupping his balls? And with the race marshall incident, do you expect him to patiently wait for his turn for a push?

People on here are extremely harsh critics, and I'm not hiding the fact that I am wanting my countryman to win. It gets a little old with all the Stoner bashing.


Haters gonna hate.

I don't blame him at all for being pissed. Said that quite a while ago.

When he wins 7 or so titles he won't have to wait for a push....will he?

After Stoner had topped almost every lap of every test/qualifying for the season, could it be that maybe the marshals are human and wanted to help the "underdog" out since Repsol doesn't seem to need any help or luck so far?

Now that's just funny.

Screw it. Stoner said it best, it was just a racing accident. Really no harm, no foul. But the corner workers that are being singled out aren't experts at what the bikes need in a fall. They didn't "favor" Rossi. If they can get the tumbled bikes up and running great! How were those particular corner workers to know that several of them would be needed to light off the Honda? Afterall, Rossi kept the clutch in and his motor was still running. Wouldn't that be the guy you would normally get going first? The one that was still running? How were they to know that the Honda, with it's groovy high speed low drag tranny would need a 2-3 person bump start?? What, did Honda send a text to all the corner workers telling that they needed a group bump start? I don't think so. Much to do about nothing. Stoner, stop whining.

They would of known because the make the beast with two backsing thing was not running, what GP 4 stroke GP bike starts with one person pushing up hill? Do you think Stoner should cop it on the chin, make the beast with two backs that, he wants to win the championship and you don't win by missing races.

You have good taste 'The Don', love the avatar. 

Thanks S.W Only one team as you know.
I'm glad someone else is hear to fly the flag, I think I take the whole Stoner bashing a little to personally. But make the beast with two backs it, I'm sick of the rest of the world bashing the little battler from struggle street
