2013 MotoGP Round 14 - Aragon (Spoilers!!!)

Everyone, that did not live in the US at the time, wanted Rossi to win that year anyway.

Huh? 2006 was nothing more than a rookie making a rookie mistake IMO. Pedro just went in too hot, lost the front, and took out Hayden. It upset Hayden fans because of the championship implications, but it wasn't all that uncommon of an accident. Simoncelli did way worse in his GP career. The only issue is that Pedro should have known better given the championship circumstances.

Checa (i.e., respected veteran racer) did the EXACT same thing to Neukirchner (sp?) right around the same time in WSBK, and no one said much of anything...even though the actual consequences for Max were much higher than Hayden.

You're not wrong, but we're not talking about that Max.
