Great to see this discussion is getting warm with more various opinions.

I think if Rossi has asked apologies, never ever try to twist over by taking advantage he is close to media that it was Stoner's fault, publicly and in private, it means Rossi has acknowledged his mistake and Stoner just needs to accept it. Nothing can change and restore the incident that happened already.

However it's great regret, I can understand if Stoner came with responses slightly improperly. He can continue the race, in the incident his bike was on top of Rossi's and may have less damage, but marshals were more focus helping Rossi that put him more in bad mood and decided not to continue the race.

It may take times for Stoner for mental recovery, the only good way is forget the incident totally and just focusing on the next coming races. The race was only two rounds started off. We don't hope to see another Gibe which was never back on form after having problem with Rossi.
