USA Redbull MotoGP - Laguna Seca - Sunday @ Motopia

[cdc]

I agree with you CDC and Rich.  But it is also clear that Stoner is not a Gibernau or Biaggi. 

In fact, I think Rossi is messing with the wrong guy.

I hope you are right.  I hope Aussies are a tougher bunch than the Europeans.

Crap. Sorry I missed it. But on the other hand the mudroom looks awesome. Painting in there is finished.

Anyone have it on DVR? Patrick? Bryant? I'd love to see what I missed. Stoner sounded pretty upset with Rossi.

After I've watched all the clips from the race

Sure its racing and things happen but if your the guy out front defending your line which is ON the track, your not expecting the guy to cut a corner by 2 or 3 feet in the dirt just to pass you on the inside?

I caught a glimpse of that as I walked in.  It could have been a wipeout taking Casey out as well as Rossi.  Maybe that is what spooked Casey.  Everything else appeared to be "racing".  I do remember Biaggi pushing out Rossi into the grass coming out of a corner at one race.  Rossi then passed Biaggi and while leaned over, raised his left hand ("the one that works the clutch"  ) to flip Biaggi the bird.

It seems he can give but doesn't want to receive "racing moves".

It's going to be one hell of a run for the championship if Stoner and Rossi (and Pedrosa once healthy) keep the racing as exciting as it was at Laguna.

No more snooze-fests from here on until the season is over.

Rossi was ahead before the Corkscrew...

Hey Giannis, is AMS going to do anything at all for the Indy GP like last year's Laguna Seca party or are most of you guys going to the race?

I was waiting for someone to comment. 

Don't forget that riders wear leather, boots, gloves, and a helmet--not to mention plastic pieces that are attached by velcro.

You're absolutely right; he was into the corner first.  Unfortunately his "corner" had no pavement on it.

So was Rossi planning on having Stoner' bike there on the track to stop his trajectory or was Rossi just going to alter the laws of time and space to avoid shooting off the other side of the track like a runaway freight train?   I'm sorry but that was the most irresponsible thing I've seen in a long time, especially from a multi-time World Champion. 

I hope Stoner kicks his ass.

Exactly ...

lisa i thought you were a big rossi fan. i could care less about either of them. i mean i hope ducati wins but the guy i like just isn't that good in gp. i would like to see casey run rossi like that and see what he has to say in post race and when he cries about it they should remind him of what he did. at that point you will see if he is a real racer or a guy who can dish it out but can't take it. nothing a little post race ass whooping wouldn't solve. if that was my career i don't think i could have somebody wreck (or even almost wreck) me w/o some behind the scenes discussion. i could handle a little leanin a little rubbin but don't wreck me. how many times have you seen a guy having a really good year get caught up in someone elses mess then...bang! suddenly the engine fails next race, then another accident, by then he's snake bite and at the end of the year he's looking for work.

I could be wrong but I don't think Giannis works at AMS any longer....but I could be wrong.
