Finally watched it last night.  I am in the camp it takes 2 riders to make an accident like that.  Yea, it is 70/30 on Sic, but they were both pushing that corner hard.

The motogp.com announcers said of Pedro - he just doesn't bounce when he hits the ground, he breaks.  Poor guy.

Dovi and Rossi was fun  waytogo

The Pramac Ducati team has to be about out of bikes at this point between RDP and Caprix.

If I were Fausto Gresini, I'd still be yelling at Simo.

This -->  "I've re-watched many times the crash and with hindsight I could have perhaps left a bit more space," said the Italian rider. "However, he got off the brakes. Surely I made a mistake with my strategy, because I was a lot quicker and I could have made my move a bit later and risked a lot less.

And this -->  "Anyway, I've certainly learned a lesson and I'll be more careful in the future; I'll try to pick a better time to make an overtaking move, maybe by leaving a bit more of a margin."

But not this -->  Simoncelli added that he now accepted his move on Pedrosa was a mistake, but still feels he is being victimised.

Simoncelli's analysis is dead-on, but he's not being victimized.  He got penalized for a dangerous move. It's not unfair.  He didn't get DQ'd or forced to sit out a race.

I suspect that was said with some sarcasm....

he's referring to the media/fan backlash, not the ride-through.

Oh, the Spanish fans?  They don't count.  They're the same people who think Douchey McNowNeitherArmWorks is worth cheering for in the first place.

I'm not Spanish and I root for the guy.  Like him or not, you have to admit he was riding as well as ever until he got punted off the track by the non factory, factory Honda.
