Great to see Cal is in the top 9, horrible qualifying for the factory Ducati's though!

They'll talk about that Stoner-Rossi crash for weeks, years even!

Pretty obvious who the marshalls favourite rider was there. Not impressed.

well at least until tommorrow.................

Rossi goes to apologize.
Stoner's response: "your ambition outweighs your talent......."


what he should have said, "gee, bro could you have spared one of those ten marshalls......"

Clearly getting Rossi out from underneath Stoner's bike was a priority......but after that.......

[Allyc85]

I know the Ducati is crap right now, but did Rossi really need to take Stoners bike off of him?

Great race, though I couldnt help but laugh at the Eurosport Commentators putting the mockers on Simoncelli and Edwards! Was gutted to see Crutchlow go down, but considering how many other crashed its not so bad and up until that point the performance was massively encouraging!

Rossi finds Stoner in the pits and they shake hands...

Stoner (smiling): “How's your shoulder? Is it okay?”

Rossi: “I'm very sorry.”

Stoner: “Okay. You have some problem with your shoulder?”

Rossi: “I make a mistake”

Stoner: “Yeah. Obviously your ambition outweighed your talent.”

Rossi: “Eh?”

Stoner: “Ambition is more than the talent.”

Rossi: “I'm very sorry.”

Stoner: “No problem.”



The conversation between them after the race.. Can't believe Stoner's reaction again. He makes himself so unpopulair with these things

Stoner should have given Rossi an uppercut to the jaw. If you wreck someone, don't expect a warm reception.

I believe that Rossi gave Stoner the middle finger during the race -that's what I read in El País anyway-, so I'd hardly have expected Stoner to put a happy face about it.

Agreed, Stoner does make himself look like a complete twat when things go worng. Rossi cocked up, but admitted fault like any decent person would and Casey goes on to say that arguably one of the greatest riders of all time is lacking talent. Almost reminds me of when Casey was crying over their epic battle at Laguna Seca a couple years back!

Is there any video of the conversation?

edit: yes there is

He would be only in the top 10 if there are only 10 riders at the finish.

he did finished in the top 10, could have finished 9th at the end, there were 12 riders at the finish lol
