At last! He should have been penalized much earlier - i.e. he took out Rossi at Jerez 2006... He is Spaniard and they are totally furious at gp - look at 125, look at Bautista and Barbera, look at Pedrosa and Lorenzo - the former had a lot of dangerous moments in the lower classes, the latter had been excluded several times in 125 and 250. They have the advantage as Dorna is Spaniard too otherwise a lot of them would be excluded just from the beginning. They are unnecessarily aggressive, senseless, crash a lot (at least Lorenzo can learn to be precise and calm), and whines if they are not enough talented (Gibernau...). Spaniards destroy motogp (Ezpelata, Pedrosa, Martinez...)

Honestly, when Elias had taken out anyone else than Rossi it would have been forgotten before the first lap was finished. It really was a race accident at the start, something we see more often.

In my opinion this was also a race incident. When you're going for the last corner together with 6 others you can expect things like that!

But the guys behind the table have spoken.

Why 20 seconds? Why not 10? Or 30? ridicilous.
They should have taken the championship points away.

Oh what a penalty-happy race direction we had today. A tiny little bit inconsistent with their decisions though. I wonder if they decide race by race when they want to have a look in the rule book or just do it all spontaneously when they feel like working.

@Beszti: Do you think before you type? Because judging by the ridiculous blabber you wrote I kinda doubt that.

That's BS. Simoncelli gets a piss weak fine for his dodgy passes and Elias cops time for something that Capper has done before as well. No consistancy at all! MotoGP admin are stupid.
