250: Simoncelli wins after shocking clash.

guy needs to be disqualified ...

Simoncelli, Action Man!



Love or hate him but he is a brave rider and champion candidate!...

just seen the vid on Eurosport site and Simoncelli should be disqualified

Great to see Simoncelli win but this has a bit of a sour taste. I don't think he knew exactly where Barbera was (left or right that is) but his move was abrupt and dangerous. The last word is probably not spoken about this incident.

3rd time this season - he didnt know where he was? like he cant hear him - he knew he didnt have a chance on the last lap, cos barbera s bike was faster - guy needs to be banned from next gp and stripped off today s points - he sent barberá straight to the wall

Didn't Simoncelli do the same thing to Mika Kallio a few weeks ago? That was a pretty unpleasant move as well. So he has history.

Simoncelli, that is not racing, deliberately ramming someone(looked like Hectors front brake locked) who is going to slipstream you is in no way a racing incident..I'm astonished it was allowed. There is no doubt he will do it again if he gets away with it and someone could be seriously hurt.. If it happened in the Motogp class there would be a riot...

Simoncelli needs one of these people he
keeps taking out, to pay him a hostile
visit after the race.

Otherwise he is gonna keep on doing it,
as Dorna doesn't seem to have a problem
with these moves when he pulls them!

Someone get in there and at least pull
his freaky hair!!

what the hell are you all talking about??????
every one is allowed to ride defensive! its been done in all classes.
the problem is that other riders that follow riders so closely are ten times more cautious then psycho Hector.
Barbera himself is known to be a very dangerous rider himself,and as you saw after the incident he didn't get mad,angry,pissed cos he knows it was his fault just like it was Marco's.

Rubbish, it was a legitimate move, there no rear view mirrors on racing bikes, this is a track notorious for slipstreaming on the finish straight, anyone in Simoncelli position would have done the same. Barabera was too close and should have expected Simoncelli to try and break the tow, simple case of Barbera being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Strange incident, need to see history laps and other angles to judge that one fairly, but... (and it is no excuse)...

Barbera shouldn't have been playing there. There was no reason to let Simoncelli get on the straight first. He was doing it a couple of laps already. Maybe for some nice finish photos or something. The guy should have stayed focussed and get on with it. Would have been an easy win for him.

wtf? did u see anyone swinging right at the front in 125cc? when the guy in front swings in mugello is way ahead of where simoncelli did it - he clearly heard barberá s bike and blocked him - with the wall 15 metres away - barberá went for the slipstream pass and simoncelly moved accordingly -3 times this year, all on the main str8 - one on bautista one on kallio one on barberá

i focrse had done that in 125cc in the last lap, ther d would ve been a disaster there

Pretty strange to hear people say that simoncelli rammed barbera. Just how the Fcuk do you ram somebody who is behind you. The way I saw it they were taking the last corner and simoncelli had a much slower pick up than Barbera and barbera decide to overtake him on the left. With his power he just picked up too quick and his break lever hit Simoncelli. It was totally not Simoncelli's Fault. hebwas in front and barbera was at the back. that was the racing line.

Dot is spot on, did Marco know which side Hector was, perfectly legit to weave to try to break the tow, Hector should have anticipated that Marco would weave and should not have got so close.

And the Bautista incident was down to Alvaro's bike seizing, not Marco's fault

chu chu

have ever seen any rearview mirrors on a gp bike?

and its Pretty strange to hear people say that barbera was too close to simoncelli! Gawwd if the rules were thus then racing would be very exciting - Not.

Weaving is not allowed in bike racing and that was not a racing incident - I saw the replay from three different angles - if Simoncelli doesn't get disqualified I will be amazed. As others have said he has caused three accidents this season - the other riders have been lucky so far, next time he could end the other riders career or worse. Loss of points and a race ban would make him grow up.

Anorak try telling the riders weaving is not allowed, they all do it, and three accidents caused by Marco?, you cannot include the Bautista incident that was down to mechanical failure on alvaro's machine.

Bri t theres a right time and a wrong time to be close, this was the wrong time

A definite disqualification - he weaved straight into the other riders front brake lever.

I'll tell you what - let's just ban bike racing all together, shall we? Would that make you happy to live in your little worlds where nothing ever happens?

Firstly, lets clarify a couple of points. Simoncelli HAS NOT caused three accidents.

"ACCIDENT 1"
As already confirmed above, Bautista's bike seized in front of Simoncelli. If you don't believe this then (a) look at a replay and see the Bautista leap to his feet and apologise to Simoncelli for taking him off, and (b) listen to Toby and Julian on British Eurosport apologise at the next GP for casting aspersions against Simoncelli.
