  2. To me, it looked more like Pedrosa sat up just as Simoncelli passed him,
    causing Pedrosa to hit the back wheel and send him flying.
    But, if they lose, they will complain to anyone.
    Simoncelli should complain about having to do a ride through.
    Some officials have too much power if their interests are compromised

    From what I've seen he seems pretty dangerous but I'm no expert. I find
    it odd that Pedrosa sitting up which would presumably slow him, would
    make Simoncelli clip the back wheel (except to make him hit it *less*).
    I can't see how Simoncelli could have expected to get past cleanly
    considering Pedrosa was in front at the start of the corner, and
    Simoncelli was on the outside. It was no less a prick of an act than
    Rossi's taking Stoner out (which actually looked more deliberate than
    the incident in question).

    Happy to have it clarified as to what I am missing but based on the
    little I know, that's all I can say.

  4. Yeebok, it was Pedrosa who clipped the rear wheel of Simoncelli
    Simoncelli had got passed past Pedrosa and Pedrosa was trying to keep up or
    whatever, when he must have realised that Simoncelli had passed him and sat
    up

    I was watching the race and saw Pedrosa come off and I put it down to a
    racing incident with no-one to blame, particularly, the leading rider, which
    was Simoncelli

    Gee whiz, you guys just aren't playing the game..... the whole idea is this
    (aaargh, it sort of takes the fun out of it when you have to explain it...):

    Race Direction pulls Simoncelli aside BEFORE a Spanish race, and just AFTER
    he has taken out a Spanish rider at the previous race. I was thinking it'd
    be a bit like those "put a caption on this photo" comps - let's speculate as
    to what they might say to him, just for fun... It was supposed to be a
    giggle...(perhaps I should've put that in the subject line???)

    Oh well...

  6. Never mind Betty
    At least you tried to instill a bit of humour into the group
