MOTOGP » Burgess defends Rossi's overtaking

Rossi did make a mistake at the corkscrew passing but that's ok for racing. He did not knock Stoner down right. Both riders did a great job and gave audience alots of entertainment. Stoner may be a little overreact but understandable. Ducati sure have the horsepower advantage over the yamaha but still need the rider to put it on the ground. Rossi ride the wheel off the yamaha to keep up that's no doubt. Rossi skill is better than stoner but Stoner still a very great rider, otherwise Rossi no need to fight so hard with him. You don't see Rossi do the same to Melandri, don't you? Let us move on and enjoy the rest of the MotoGP races.

You should have seen motgp in the 80's and 90's that would show them....oh,err...has someone said that....

this is still going on?

so many people telling stoner to watch motogp in the 80's and 90's... hmnnn
i wonder how many of them have really watched motogp in the 80's and nineties....

i have been in this forum years ago but they are not even here, yet they they are telling people to watch 80's and 90's gP?.. are they for real?.......

by the way... this is the PREMIER internet forum for MOTOGP for many years now..

Rossi's Dad's bigger than Stoner's Dad , nya nya na nya nya

He did'nt bump you
He did'nt nudge you
He rubbed you
and rubbing is racing

If I wanted to watch racing witout passing I would watch F1
Maybe Stoner would be better at racing in a class where the only overtaking is done in the pit

mattmon,
what aload of Bo11ocks you talk, the Ducati is quick but the man riding it just rips the throttle open, & I never knew that Moto Gp was all about a beauty contest.

Its about racing bikes.

You mean faster bike, those in the know have seen Stoners talent and it's nowhere near Rossis and that's a fact..

I'd rather watch F1 at least the drivers are drivingand having to fight the car, trying to put the power down as early as poss sliding all over the place, christ full throttle on apex and let the electronic do the rest, I'm not even convinced it's sport...... At least Rossi is trying to still race.... I guarantee that without all the electronics and superfast engine CS would be nowhere... Celebrate mediocrity all you want......pass the detox..

Rossi has bad hair. That's really the only thing that matters. Stoner's much prettier. I know that and I'm a bloke. I think next time Stoner should just shove that slow little pasta muncher out of the way and get on with it. Rossi can play games and carry on but there's no doubt he's slower right now. May the fastest man win.

Here's a rare opportunity to bid on ebay for a piece of Ducati/Stoner memorabilia from Laguna Seca, ebay(UK) item# below:

What about the “shoulder pushing” move from Stoner just one turn before? Didn't anybody see it? Why did Stoner not complain about that one?
