I feel really sorry for Max, but I also don't blame Checa for trying. The race doesn't end until the cheqered flag and it wasn't a million miles away from the Rossi/Gibernau last corner clash at Jerez in 2005...

Again, Max didn't deserve to be caught up in it. In an 'ideal' world Checa would either have made the pass safely and been a hero, or fallen on his own without bringing Max down.

Both riders deserved to win in my eyes.

"The bottom line is that the move was ill advised and stupid when you look at the cost long term (a possible championship contender injured and lost points and a respectable rider's credentials seriously tainted. While we racers understand that our sport isnt ballet its definitely not NASCAR either! Riders please respect the sport."

I agree because its reckless manuevers like that that could end careers.

What the heck:
The guy (Checa) is coming from nowhere, he passes everyone, including Bayliss and the rest and in the last 2 laps gains the 3,5 seg Max had from him and they reach the last corner of the last lap in front of his home crowd ... of course he dives into the smallest space available, if he had not done that everyone would call him a coward and a guy that goes for the points with no guts... and it is only the third event out of 15 ... Checa did what he had to do... and I am sorry for Max that deserved victory equally

Otto, before u insult anyone, learn abou the sport . Max not only choked in the last two laps, but also opened the door in the last turn
Two posts above yours, u can read the opinion of probably the most respected motorcycle racing journalist on the globe. Read up and think about it.

End careers? for f sake guys , get a grip.

For those who speak german: there is a statement of Max, you will find the link on his HP -> Max.tv

For those who don't: he states, that "Checa is an old man who feels time is running out for him to become a world champion in his career. If he continues to ride like in Valencia he won't make it. Im not too harmed about the incident, I'm still young and wait for my next chance"

:p ;)

For me this is the end of the discussion, see you in Assen!

Ehh, he could not win this time because he got shot off the bike, you know :) :) :)

But some day he will. And maybe Checa too, I don't care. But I really like the increasing level of discussion :p

i would understand Max saying that straight after the race, in the heat of the moment. But 4 days later ... posting that on the internet is just bs.
