You really believe that's what we all want?
Obviously not all, that would be a generalisation, but it does look like its heavily waited that way from where I'm standing. I guess in contrast if you go to the OZ monster site you see the other side of the coin, where most are pro Stoner, and Rossi is the villan. Bottom line it was a racing incident.

Both bad assumptions that are made suit your argument, and to make Stoner the bad guy for wanting to win.
I don't get the whole thing of wanting racing to be exciting, but then only wanting certain guys winning, ie the Ben and or Rossi.
Not at all - I'm not suiting any point (I think it was Derby's, actually), just blurting out hypotheses based on the evidence....
But, as you(?) and that (other?) guy from Oz said earlier, Stoner is an excellent rider. If he's excellent enough to protect the racing line and keep an opponent behind him then he's certainly capable of anticipating an approaching opponent and blocking that opponent's 'obvious' bailout route or forcing him to take a high-risk route to pass then the fact that the opponent slipped on the water, crashed in front of him, and caused him to crash is, therefore, partly his own fault. Let's be clear, too, that Casey's no angel. If his (according to others here) sarcastic comments to Rossi - when the latter came to the Honda paddock, his other comments re favoritism, etc., and his press/public record as a schmuck to past employers - are indicative of an inner-satan or prima donna selfishness, then I wouldn't think it unbelievable for him to try and make an opponent take himself out.
I'm not suggesting that Casey really is Tonya Harding or that Rossi really is Nancy Kerrigan....but that really did happen...

From this video it looks like they pushed Rossi just a little and the bike just went. They kept pushing Stoner a lot more than what they pushed Rossi.

I noticed that Abraham's Ducati seemed to bump-start easily too. I was impressed, because I can't even push-start my Monster

Yea, and in real time, it was just a couple seconds difference in response time. Nothing to complain about at all from the corner workers.

Marshalls were falling all over the place trying to get Stoner going again!
PS - nice pic there of the Fosterized horse (died of a mystery illness?)...bet its name is Casey

From the angle Derby posted, I don't see any problems with how that was handled. Stoner had his help, but number one his bike is a pregnant dog to start and number two you can't expect a gaggle of corner workers to run off down the track with you. They did their jobs, bike didn't start, race over.

Who you calling that other guy? I'm Stinky! Don't forget it.
What's done is done, I vote to drop the subject, I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season.

We will be complaining about this one half way through the season. By then Stoner will be hoisting the championship trophy. The combo of Stoner on the Honda will be super hard to beat unless Ducati finds a way to keep the bike shiny side up or Yamaha finds speed. Don't get me wrong, Whoreghey will be up there, but he has to pray for rain in every race.

I think this is officially the longest thread ever about a single race.
Personally, that means "good racing" to me.
